Description

Lenco 4″ x 12″ Limited Space Trim Tab Kit – Standard Finish, Short Actuator, 12V (15052‑101)

The Lenco 4″ x 12″ Limited Space Trim Tab Kit (Model 15052‑101) is engineered for boaters who need professional‑grade trim tab control in compact installation areas. With 4″ x 12″ stainless steel blades, a standard finish, and a short 12V actuator, this kit is ideal for boats with limited transom space, swim platforms, or ladders that make standard trim tab systems difficult to install.

Despite its smaller footprint, this trim tab kit still delivers the performance benefits of larger systems, helping to reduce porpoising, improve planing, and enhance overall handling and stability on the water. The short actuator design allows for flexible mounting options where traditional actuators won’t fit, providing boaters with more installation versatility.

Constructed with marine‑grade corrosion‑resistant materials, the 15052‑101 trim tab kit holds up in both freshwater and saltwater environments. This version is sold without a switch, so you can choose the control system that best matches your helm setup.

Key Features:

• Compact 4″ x 12″ stainless steel trim tab blades — ideal for limited transom space

• Standard finish for corrosion resistance and long‑lasting durability

• Short 12V actuator — perfect for tight installations where space is restricted

• Helps reduce porpoising, improve planing, and boost handling performance

• Marine‑grade construction suitable for freshwater and saltwater use

• Switch not included — compatible with Lenco switch kits (sold separately)

Kit Includes:

• (2) 4″ x 12″ stainless steel trim tab blades

• (2) Short 12V actuators with pigtail connections

• (2) Actuator mounting brackets

• Mounting hardware and installation instructions

This kit pairs well with standard tactile switch kits or LED indicator switch kits from Lenco for complete control and visual feedback at the helm.

Technical Specifications

Why the “Limited Space” Kit?

This kit is designed specifically for boats where every inch of transom real estate matters.

• Narrow Profile: With only a 4-inch reach from the transom, these tabs can be installed between outboard engines or next to boarding ladders and swim platforms without interference.

• Short Actuator Advantage: The 101S actuators have a shorter overall body length than standard Lenco rams. This is critical for boats with low transom heights or those with overhanging decks that block vertical mounting.

• Heavy-Duty Build: Despite the small size, Lenco uses thicker 11-gauge stainless steel (compared to the standard 12-gauge) to ensure the blades remain rigid under high-speed water pressure.

• Instant Leveling: Even with a smaller surface area, these tabs provide the necessary lift to stop “porpoising,” plane at lower speeds, and correct a list caused by uneven weight distribution.

Kit Contents

• (2) 11-Gauge Stainless Steel Blades (4″ x 12″)

• (2) 15055-001 Short Actuators (12V) with 6′ leads

• (2) 20′ Actuator Extension Wiring Harnesses

• (2) Upper Mounting Brackets with Gland Seals

• (2) Lower Mounting Brackets

• Stainless Steel Mounting Hardware and Installation Manual

Important Considerations

[!WARNING]

Switch Required: This is a hardware-only kit. To operate the tabs, you must purchase a Lenco Switch Kit. For skiffs and open boats, many users choose the Carling Double Rocker Switch (10222-211D) for its rugged simplicity, or the Integrated LED Switch (15170-001) for precise feedback.
