The Lenco RT9X12 is a complete, 12-volt Standard Performance Trim Tab Kit designed for mid-sized boats that require extra durability for aggressive handling. This kit features 9" x 12" electro-polished stainless steel planes and is bundled with Lenco's Standard Tactile Switch, providing a simplified but highly responsive interface for correcting your boat's attitude.

Performance Series Design

The "RT" (Performance) series is built to handle the stresses of higher speeds and rougher water. The blades are electro-polished to a mirror finish, which not only looks professional but also provides superior resistance to saltwater corrosion and marine growth The planes feature a 1" turned-up edge and a 2" taper on the inside to increase structural rigidity and ensure clean water release.

Key Features

• Standard Tactile Switch Kit: This waterproof, low-profile switch allows for independent control of each tab It features solid-state electronics and a built-in retractor that automatically raises the tabs when the engine is turned off to prevent damage during trailering.

• Instant Response Actuators: Lenco’s electric ballscrew design is significantly faster and more powerful than hydraulic systems, offering immediate reaction to helm commands without the mess of oil or pumps.

• Maintenance-Free: The actuators are fully submersible, oil-free, and sealed for life They are constructed from high-impact, UV-resistant nylon with 316 stainless steel rams.

• Electro-Polished 304 Stainless: 12-gauge stainless steel construction ensures the system can withstand the harsh marine environment and high-pressure loads.

Installation Pro-Tip:

When mounting the planes, ensure they are at least 2 inches in from the side (chine) of the boat to avoid pulling air during turns. Because this model uses a tactile switch without LED indicators, you should familiarize yourself with the sound and timing of the actuators while at the dock so you can "feel" your tab adjustments instinctively while underway.
