CONGRATULATIONS!
You have just purchased the finest trim tab system in the world! Welcome to the future.
Lenco trim tabs make the single most important difference in the way your boat rides and performs. They are optional on some boats, but should be as standard as power trim and tilt. Lenco trim tabs make your boat ride smoother, drier, faster and with increased safety whether on a small skiff or a mega-yacht. Our ball screw design makes our tabs more reliable and twice as powerful as typical hydraulic trim tabs. Coupled with any of our trim tab switches, they also perform with instant response, which makes them more precise and user-friendly.
Our goal is to manufacture products that simply make boating more enjoyable.
All Lenco Marine LLC Trim Tab products are CE certified

Trim Tab Operation
TRIM TAB OVERVIEW
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. This applies to all of our trim tab switch kits. All Lenco switches are 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.
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.

SWITCH OVERVIEW
The operation of all Lenco switches is based on the position of the bow. To lower the starboard bow, press the right (starboard) side of the switch where it reads Down. This lowers the port tab. To lower the port bow, press the left (port) side of the switch where it reads Down. This lowers the starboard tab.
OUR SWITCHES ARE BASED ON THE POSITION OF THE BOW.
Lowers Port Bow
Standard Switch Kit
Standard Integrated Switch
The Standard switch was made to work with 12 and 24-volt systems. As described above this maintenance­free tactile switch is based on the position of the bow. Unlike our LED Indicator switch kits, our Standard Switch Kits have no indicator showing how far each tab has moved.
LED Integrated Switch with Self Check Feature
On the Indicator switch, the L.E.D. lights on the sides of the display show how far that tab has moved. When power is applied, the L.E.D. displays on the indicator switch will light up from top to bottom and immediately extinguish from bottom to top to indicate self test at power up. If there is a problem with an actuator connection, the L.E.D. displays shows every other red light “ON” at the side that has the problem
23)
. After self test is complete (1 to 2 seconds) the L.E.D. displays show one up arrow on each side of the switch. This shows that both tabs are fully retracted. While operating the tabs, the L.E.D. displays indicate the position of the tabs by lighting up the further they are pressed down. As the switch is pressed up, the lights go out. When power is removed from the switch, the tabs retract from any position before powering down.

Trim Tab Maintenance
Trim Tab Maintenance Tips
CLEANING YOUR TRIM TABS
e attractive surface appearance of stainless steel cannot be regarded as
Th 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 of these contaminants.
Note:
Please follow the recommendations for stainless steel cleaning
products from your preferred marine retailer.
PAINTING YOUR TABS AND ACTUATORS with marine antifouling paint will
discourage marine algae or growth from adhering to these surfaces.
• Please follow the recommendations for stainless steel antifouling paint from
your preferred marine retailer.
en applying paint to the actuators, be sure that they are in the fully retracted
Wh
position. Do not paint the stainless steel ram above the area that is exposed when retracted.
• Do not paint under the anode or the anode itself.
SACRIFICIAL ANODES FOR YOUR LENCO STAINLESS STEEL 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 sacricial 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. Clean and replace as needed.
ELECTROLYSIS IS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS NOT WARRANTABLE
For more information on electrolysis, please visit www.lencomarine.com and go to the troubleshooting section.
VISUAL INSPECTION OF SYSTEM
riodically inspect all wires, mounting brackets, and hardware for damage.
Pe Ma
ke sure all mounting brackets and hardware are secure and working properly.
• Periodically test system for smooth operation.

Trim Tab Installation Instructions
Trim Tab System Installation Instructions
Warning: The following instructions contain important safety information and should be followed carefully. Failure to do so may result in injury and will void warranty.
Please read through the instructions in their entirety prior to beginning installation! Note: Measurements may vary from transom to transom.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS LIST
• Electric drill
• Tape measure
• 3/16" & 3/8" drill bits (.48 & .95 cm)
• 7/16" (1.11 cm) wrench
• At least (2) 1/2" wrenches or sockets
• 4' straight edge or level
• 2 1/16" (5.24 cm) hole saw
• #2 & #3 Phillips screwdrivers
• Marine adhesive caulking
• Wire crimper / cutter
• Heat gun
Installation of Trim Tab Blades
1.
To begin, determine where the Lenco Trim Tab Kit will be installed. Note: When determining the desired tab location, hold the tab against the transom with the bottom of the hinge knuckle 3/8" (.95 cm) up from the bottom of the transom, approximately 1" to 4" (2.54 to 10.16 cm) in from the chine, and parallel with the hull.
Note: The reason the hinge knuckle is mounted 3/8" (.95 cm) from the bottom of the transom is to allow water to continue to travel freely along the bottom of the boat past the transom edge. Tabs are also mounted in this manner for protection while on a boat trailer or when being dry-stored.
When mounting the hinge to the hull, make sure that the inside
FIG.4
corner of the hinge knuckle is no closer than 2" (5.08 cm) to the left or right of any strake edge. The hinge may overlap a strake edge as long as the corner of the hinge knuckle is no closer than 2" (5.08 cm) to the left or right of the strake edge (se e Fi g.1). Transfer (trace) the hinge screw hole pattern onto the transom for drilling.
Note: All Performance Series kits with
single-tapered blades should be mounted with the tapered side facing toward the center of the boat.
Port side blade
Tapered side of blade
2.
Using the 3/16" (.48 cm) drill bit, drill the previously marked hole locations to a depth of 1-1/4" (3.18 cm).
Note: When drilling out the screw hole pattern for the trim tab hinge, you may drill through the transom. Hinge screws should be installed with Marine adhesive caulking, which will seal the holes. All supplied screws and fasteners are stainless steel. Do not use any other type of alloy.
Mount the trim tab hinge to the transom using provided #14 x 1-1/4" (3.18 cm) stainless steel sheet metal screws. We recommend using Marine adhesive caulking to bed the hinge and screws.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

2. In order to properly position the upper mounting
bracket against the transom, you must lift the trim tab so that the trailing edge is at the recommended height, per the blade length, above the straight edge when held to the hull (see Fig. 8 on pg 7). When the trim tab is at the appropriate level and the actuators are fully retracted, transfer (trace) the outer shape of the upper mounting bracket onto the transom. The upper mounting bracket should be marked where it lays naturally against the transom, to prevent binding during functioning of trim tabs. The upper mounting bracket and the trim tab blade should always be on the same plane when
.
being attached to the transom. When installing Standard Mount kits, the distance from the bottom of the transom to the top of the upper mounting bracket should never exceed 14" (35.6 cm) (see Fig. 4). When installing Edge Mount kits with 9" tab length, the distance from the bottom of the transom to the top of the upper mounting bracket should never exceed 13.5" (34.29 cm). All other Edge Mount kits have an 11" (27.94 cm) maximum distance (see Fig. 5).

Bennett Hydraulic-to-Lenco Electric
Retrofit Kit for Bennett Trim Tabs Installation Instructions
This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the Bennett hydraulic power unit on systems using Bennett's 4-ring standard trim tab actuators.
retrotted to the Lenco Actuators. These instructions should be followed completely. See page 5 for complete Tools and Materials List.
Make sure the power is removed from the Bennet t Trim Tab System before installation.
Pre-Installation Instructions
1) Disconnect the Bennett hydraulic pump unit (HPU) from the Bennett wiring harness and drain as much of the hydraulic fluid as possible into a container for proper disposal later. Remember that automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is to be disposed of only at an approved collection site in your area; do not discard in the regular trash. Discard hydraulic pump unit (HPU). Leave Bennett wiring harness in place.
2) Remove and discard the Bennett trim tab cylinders from the boat transom, and remove the hydraulic line at the connection. It helps to have several rags handy to soak up the oil. Remove and discard old hydraulic lines.
3) Disconnect the Bennett cylinder from the trim tab plane by tapping out the small black pin at the base of the cylinder, where it attaches to the plane. You will first have to remove one screw from the lower mounting bracket, as this holds the pin in place. Do
not remove the lower mounting bracket, as you will need it later.
Installation Instructions
4) Insert the actuator cable through the appropriate hole in the upper mounting bracket, (supplied with the kit) until it reaches the actuator. Insert the actuator cable through the gland seal until it reaches the upper mounting bracket.
Note: For appropriate orientation of upper mounting bracket and gland seal, (see Fi

You will need to clean the mounting surfaces on the transom with a cleaning solvent, such as mineral spirits or alcohol, to remove all oils and dirt before final mounting.
Insert the actuator cable through the transom. With the actuator loosely supported, bed the upper mounting bracket and screws with Marine adhesive caulking. Start the provided #14 x 1-1/4" (3.18 cm) stainless steel sheet metal screws through the upper mounting bracket and into the transom. MAKE SURE TO LEAVE THE SCREWS ONLY PARTIALLY INSTALLED.

Attach the actuator to the upper mounting bracket using the 5/16-18 X 1-3/4" (4.45 cm) large hex head bolt and 5/16-18 (.79 cm) hex nut provided.
5) You are now ready to attach the Lenco Actuator to the blade. First, insert the 1-1/4" Delrin Pin part way through the hole in the Bennett lower mounting bracket and insert through one of the four black washers provided in the kit. Place the actuator into the bracket and tap the pin through. Continue through the second washer and other side of the bracket. Replace the bracket screw removed in step 3. This will lock the pin in place and prevent it from falling out.
6) Now you will need to hook up the Lenco Actuator wires inside the bilge/rigging area. First, cut the wire connector from the Bennett wire harness where the pump used to be. Strip the four harness wires and connect to the four Lenco wires using the heat shrink butt splices provided in the kit. Make sure to use the proper crimping tool, and then heat all connections for a tight waterproof seal. Tie-wrap or secure in some fashion to a dry location to help prevent the connectors from getting too wet.

Hatch Lift Installation
Lenco Hatch Lift Installation & Operation
Due to the many different variables involved with the numerous applications for Lenco hatch lifts, installation is never the same. Here are some general guidelines that can be of assistance:
Most powerful when actuator is installed vertically at 90 degrees.
• Lifting capabilities decrease the closer the upper or lower mount
is located to the hinge.
• The further from a vertical position the less lifting capability.
When retracted, DO NOT position hatch lift at an angle less than 45 degrees.
Dual hatch lift systems are recommended for hatches over 500 lbs (226.79 kg) of force, but not to exceed 1000 lbs of force.
• Lenco hatch lifts are designed around a ball screw that spins
freely when hatch is fully open or closed.
The hatch lift must be allowed to free spin at both ends of its stroke or it will continue to push or pull against any resistance potentially damaging the hatch lift or the hatch itself.
• Failure to make accurate measurements could cause damage to
hatch lift or the hatch itself.
• Lenco hatch lifts are water resistant.
• Lenco hatch lifts will not drif t.
• Lenco hatch lifts are offered in both 12 and 24 volts.

OPERATION
The function of the Lenco Hatch Lift System is simple. Since the hatch lift is based around a ball screw, it is able to push a heavy load and remain at a constant position. To raise a load, extend the hatch lift by pressing on the upper part of the switch. To lower a load, retract the hatch lift by pressing the lower part of the switch. In case of power failure, Lenco hatch lifts are supplied with two clevis pins at the mounting brackets. To pull this pin out while the hatch is closed, you can: A) Rig a cable to pin and rig to a point outside of the hatch. B) Install an inspection plate where the pin will be accessible. C) Install Lenco's hatch lift slide bracket (Part # 70381-001).

Lenco Airboat Trim Tabs Installation Instructions
1) The Airboat trim tab is always mounted in the center of the boats transom with the bottom of the hinge 3/8” (.95 cm) up from the bottom of the transom. See Fig. 1
Note: The reason the hinge knuckle is mounted 3/8" (.95 cm) from the bottom of the transom is to allow water to travel along the bottom of the boat and create lift when it is redirected in the tab area. Tabs are also mounted in this manner for protection while on a boat trailer or when being dry-stored. On aluminum hulls, mount the hinge high enough so that when the trim tab is deployed, it clears the bottom lip that extends past the transom.
Airboat Trim Tab Installation
Lenco Airboat Trim Tabs Installation Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully before installing your Lenco Airboat Trim Tab.
Installation of Trim Tab Blade
1. The Airboat trim tab is always mounted in the center of the boats transom with the bottom of the hinge 3/8” (.95 cm) up from the bottom of the transom. (see Fig. 1).
Note: The reason the hinge knuckle is mounted 3/8" (.95 cm) from the bottom of the transom is to allow water to travel along the bottom of the boat and create lift when it is redirected by the trim tab blade. The tab is also mounted in this manner for protection while on a boat trailer or when being dry-stored.
On aluminum hulls, mount the hinge high enough so that when the trim tab is deployed, it clears the bottom lip that extends past the transom.
Fig. 1
3/8” up from hull
2. Using a 1/4” (.64 cm) drill bit, drill all hinge holes
through the transom. Through-bolt the hinge to the transom using the 1/4” - 20 MS pan head phillips screws, nuts, and washers provided. Use Marine adhesive caulking to seal all holes and bed the hinge and screws.
Fig. 2
2” - 3”
Fully Retracted
When the trim tab is at the appropriate level, transfer (trace) the outer shape of the upper mounting bracket onto the transom. The upper mounting bracket should be marked where it lays naturally against the transom to prevent binding during functioning of the trim tabs.
Note: Do not adjust the upper mounting bracket to the right or lef t, as this will cause binding. Allow the bracket to come to rest at its natural position.
2. Remove the upper mounting bracket from the actuator and align to the previously marked location to mark the upper mounting bracket screw hole locations and cable hole location. Using a1/4" (.64 cm) drill bit, drill the three previously marked screw hole locations to a depth of 1-1/4" (3.17 cm).
WARNING: Be sure to check inside the hull before drilling the 3/8" (.95 cm) cable hole.
Note: When drilling out the screw hole pattern for the upper mounting bracket, you may drill through the transom. The screws should be installed with Marine adhesive caulking which will seal the holes when installed.
Installing Upper Mounting Bracket & Actuator
1. To properly position the upper mounting against
the transom, rst fully extend the Lenco actuator
as far as it will go. You can do this by turning the actuator counter clockwise until it free wheels at the end of its stroke, OR, touch the power wires to a 12V DC Source (Example: a drill battery). Once the actuator is fully extended, loosely attach the upper mounting bracket to the top of the actuator, and the bottom of the actuator to the
lower mounting c-channel’s rst hole (the one
closest to the hinge) using the bolts, spacers, and nuts provided. Then position the trim tab to the desired level below the bottom of the boat. We recommend 2” - 3” measured from a straight edge or level from the bottom of the boat to the trailing edge of the trim tab (see Fig. 2).
21
3. If all is clear, use the 3/8" (.95 cm) drill bit and drill
the previously marked cable hole completely through the transom. Insert the actuator cable through the appropriate hole in the upper mounting bracket until the mount reaches the actuator. Insert the actuator cable through the gland seal until it reaches the rear of the upper mounting bracket.
(See Fig. 3)

If, however, you are prevented from drilling a hole through the transom at the bracket location, using the 3/8" (.95 cm) drill bit, simply drill a 3/8" (.95 cm) hole 4" to 5" (10.16 to 12.7 cm) above the waterline and insert the cable. Cover the hole and cable with our suggested 15084-001 Remote Gland Seal Kit (see gure 4).
Fig. 4
4. Insert the actuator cable through the transom. With the actuator loosely supported, insert the provided 1/4”-20 x 7/8" pan head phillips screws through the upper mounting bracket holes and into the transom and loosely attach the washers and nut.
MAKE SURE TO LEAVE THE SCREWS ONLY PARTIALLY INSTALLED.
5.
Insert the actuator clevis (mounting
ear) into the upper mounting bracket, and hold the actuator in the approximate installed position. Pass the actuator cable through the transom, removing slack on the cable until it looks like the installation on Fig 3. Finish installing the previously started 1/4”-20 x 7/8" pan head phillips screws, nuts, and washers through the upper mounting bracket and into the transom.
We recommend using Marine adhesive caulking to bed the upper mounting bracket and screws.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
6. Attach and secure the actuator to the upper mounting bracket using the 5/16-18 X 1-3/4" (4.45 cm) large hex head bolt and 5/16-18 (.79 cm) hex nut provided.
We recommend using Marine adhesive caulking to seal the cable hole on the inside of the transom.
7. Attach the switch Deutsch connector
to the Actuator Deutsch connector via the Actuator Extension harness as seen in the diagram below.

2.
Make sure you have a fully char
connectors are free of corrosion.
3.
Lenco Marine Actuators use a simple reverse
polarity motor. To test an actuator, apply the white wire to the positive post and black wire to the negative post of a battery, this will extend the actuator. If you reverse the two wire connections, it will retract. The actuator’s white and black wires can be applied directly to power. If the Actuator(s) does not move, replace the actuator(s).
NOTE: for DUAL ACTUATOR TAB, you MUST remove lower mounting bolts on both actuators, so they can move independently to test.
