Lenco Trim Tab kits include two stainless steel
planes, two electromechanical actuators and
all mounting hardware for installation. (See
available switch options on page 16.) The trim
tabs operate independently of one another to
provide optimal performance by redirecting
water flow at the transom of the boat. Lenco
Trim Tabs have been designed to improve the
overall attitude of a boat. If used properly,
Lenco Trim Tabs improve the ride, reduce drag,
increase speed and improve the fuel efficiency
of your boat.
The operation of Lenco Trim Tabs is basic. The
two stainless steel planes are mounted with
the actuators on the transom of the boat.
When the tabs are lowered, the water flow
is redirected creating an upward force at the
stern of the boat. When the stern rises, the
bow will lower.
Since Lenco actuators are electromechanical,
they provide an immediate response at the
touch of the switch. The Lenco switch is based
on the position of the bow. The left side of the
switch controls the starboard tab. The right side
of the switch controls the port tab. The system
is set up this way to minimize the guesswork
while underway. To lower the starboard bow,
press the right (starboard) switch where it reads
DOWN. To lower the port bow, press the left
(port) switch where it reads DOWN.
Since all boats are different in weight, length,
speed and performance, it takes practice to
understand how your boat reacts with trim
tabs installed. Lenco Trim Tabs allow your boat
to get on plane faster and continue planing
at lower speeds. This improves visibility and
the overall safety of your boat. When making
adjustments with the trim tabs, use short
momentary taps of the switch.
To become knowledgeable on how your boat
performs with Lenco Trim Tabs, remember,
practice makes perfect.
The Lenco Tactile Switch
is based on the position
of the bow.
When the tabs are lowered,
the water flow is redirected
creating an upward force at
the stern of the boat.
