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 sacricial 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

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.

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.

Installation of Upper and Lower
Mounting Brackets & Actuators
1. Loosely attach the upper mounting bracket
(bracket with four holes) to the top of the
actuator, using the 5/16-18" X 1-3/4" (4.45
cm) large hex head bolt and 5/16-18 hex nut
provided. Attach the actuator to the 119 lower
mounting bracket, using the 5/16-18" X 1-3/4"
(4.45 cm) large hex head bolt and 5/16-18" hex
(.79 cm) nut provided. Attach the 119 lower
mounting bracket to the tab with the bolts,
washers, and nylon lock nuts provided (Kit#
4 - Part# 10000-001) (see Fig. 2).

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).

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.
retrotted 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
g 1).
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.
Insert the actuator clevis (mounting ear) into the
upper mounting bracket and hold in the approximate
installed location. Pass the actuator cable through
the transom removing slack on the cable until it looks
Note: Bennett Joystick Control can not be
like the installation on (Fig. 1). Remove the actuator
from the upper mounting bracket and finish installing
the previously started #14 x 1-1/4" (3.18 cm) stainless
steel sheet metal screws 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.
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.
12V Part L . O. A. Approx . L . O. A.
Number Retracted Stroke Extended
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).

shim the upper or lower mounting
bracket up or down so the hatch does
not bind when fully closed. The hatch
lift does not stop pulling until it has
reached its fully closed position. If the
hatch fully closes before the hatch lift
is fully retracted, it will cause damage
to the lift or the mounting hardware.
Shim the hatch lift with stainless
washers for small amounts of length.
Use Lenco shim part #50015-002D for
lengths greater than 1/8" (3.2 mm).

Note: The reason the hinge knuckle is mounted3/8" (.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 thetrim tab is deployed, itclears 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)

Trim Tab Operation
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.
