Trim Tab Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
The attractive surface appearance of
stainless steel cannot be regarded
as completely maintenance-free. Our
304 Series Stainless Steel may in fact
stain, discolor, or accumulate a layer of
surface contamination (dirt and grime)
during the normal course of the life
cycle.
Minute particles of dust and rust may
adhere to the stainless steel during
shipping, installation or storage at
OEM or retail locations.
Also, please remember that some
types of stainless steel fasteners tend
to “bleed” over the tabs and onto the
boat. To achieve maximum corrosion
resistance, the surface of the stainless
steel must be kept clean and free of all
these contaminants.
NOTE: LENCO RECOMMENDS AN
ACID AND WATER SOLUTION TO
CLEAN THE TRIM TAB BLADES.
MARYKATE’S ON & OFF PRODUCT
IS A GOOD CHOICE. RINSE THOR-
OUGHLY UPON COMPLETION.
BIODEGRADABLE, BUT PLEASE
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE APPLYING.
Sacrificial Anodes
for your Lenco SS
Trim Tabs
Be aware that stray currents in your
marina or in a visiting marina can
cause damage to your trim tab blades
if not protected by sacrificial anodes.
• The addition of anodes on each tab
will deter electrolysis.
• Do not paint under the anode or the
anode itself.
• Check Anode condition frequently.
Replace when necessary.
Visual inspection of
system
• Periodically inspect all wires,
mounting brackets, and hardware
for damage.
• Make sure all mounting brackets
are secure and working properly.
• Periodically test system for smooth
operation.
