The actuator is what moves a Lenco trim tab. Match the actuator duty, voltage, and hardware to your tabs, and pick the switch kit that fits how you run.

A Lenco trim tab system is only as good as the actuator that drives it and the switch that controls it, and this collection covers both, plus replacement hardware. Lenco actuators are the compact electric rams that pivot the tab, and choosing the right ones comes down to duty rating, voltage, stroke, and matching them to your tabs and switch.

Standard or extreme-duty actuators

Lenco offers standard 101 actuators for typical recreational use and XD extreme-duty actuators built for bigger boats, heavier loads, and harder use. The XD units use stronger internals and larger hardware (3/8-inch versus 5/16-inch pins) to stand up to the forces on a large tab. Match the actuator duty to your boat size and how hard you run, and step up to extreme duty for a heavy or offshore boat.

Match voltage and stroke

Actuators come in 12-volt and 24-volt versions, so match the actuator to your boat's system voltage. Stroke length, like the common 2-1/4 inch, sets how far the tab travels, and it has to match your tab design. Replacing an actuator means matching the duty, voltage, stroke, and hardware size to what your tabs use, so confirm the existing spec before ordering.

Switch kits and controls

The switch is how you trim. Lenco offers standard tactile switches, LED indicator switches that show tab position, and Auto Glide systems that level the boat automatically and remember your settings. Match the switch to how you want to run, and confirm it is compatible with your actuators and tab system.

Replacement parts keep tabs working

If a tab stops responding, the actuator is often the culprit, and replacing the actuator restores the system without new tabs. Keep the pins, hardware, and seals matched to your model, and replace a leaking or sluggish actuator promptly so the tabs trim evenly.

Match the accessory to your system

Lenco parts are specific to actuator and tab models, so identify your system before ordering an actuator, switch, or hardware. A mismatched actuator or switch will not control the tabs correctly.

Not sure which actuator or switch your tabs need? Tell our techs your boat size, system voltage, and tab model, and we will match the actuator duty, stroke, hardware, and switch so your trim tabs work right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a trim tab actuator do?

The actuator is the compact electric ram that pivots the trim tab up and down. It is the moving part of the system, and if a tab stops responding, the actuator is often the cause.

Standard or extreme-duty actuator?

Standard 101 actuators suit typical recreational use, while XD extreme-duty units use stronger internals and larger hardware for bigger boats, heavier loads, and harder use. Step up to extreme duty for a heavy or offshore boat.

How do I match a replacement actuator?

Match the duty rating, system voltage (12 or 24 volt), stroke length (commonly 2-1/4 inch), and hardware size to what your tabs use. Confirm the existing spec before ordering so the replacement fits and travels correctly.

What switch options are there?

Lenco offers standard tactile switches, LED indicator switches that show tab position, and Auto Glide that levels the boat automatically and remembers settings. Match the switch to how you run and confirm it works with your actuators.

Can I replace the actuator without new tabs?

Yes. If a tab stops responding, replacing the actuator usually restores the system without buying new tabs. Match the actuator duty, voltage, stroke, and hardware to your existing tab model.
