Sizing Lectrotab Trim Tabs

Trim tabs adjust the running angle of your boat so it planes faster, runs level and stays comfortable in chop. Lectrotab matches tab size to boat length and engine power. Their listings call out the boat length range and horsepower, such as tabs for an 18 to 20 foot boat with 150 to 240 horsepower, which takes the guesswork out of sizing.

Smart Tab, Composite and Aluminum

Smart Tab SX systems are designed for smaller boats and offer composite and aluminum plate options. The XKA series uses aluminum alloy plates in larger sizes for bigger hulls. Because Lectrotab actuators are electromechanical, there is no hydraulic pump or fluid to maintain, which simplifies installation. Match the plate size and horsepower range to your boat before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do trim tabs do?

Trim tabs are adjustable plates at the transom that change the running angle of the boat. They help the boat plane faster, run level, correct list and give a smoother ride in chop.

How are Lectrotab tabs different from hydraulic tabs?

Lectrotab uses an electromechanical actuator instead of a hydraulic pump and lines. There is no fluid to leak or maintain, which makes installation and upkeep simpler.

How do I size trim tabs for my boat?

Match the tab to your boat length and horsepower. Lectrotab listings state the boat length range and engine power each set is designed for, so pick the model that covers your boat.
