Lectrotab 9x12 Trim Tab Kit with Joystick LED Controller (CJLC-11)

Command your boat’s attitude with purpose-built precision using Lectrotab’s Joystick LED Trim Tab Kit for 9 x 12" tabs. This complete package combines rugged NZ-made stainless trim tabs, reliable 12V actuators, and the CJLC-11 joystick controller to deliver effortless, one-handed control with clear, at-a-glance position feedback. It’s built for saltwater resilience and consistent performance in a wide range of conditions, from calm coastal runs to choppy seas.

What’s in the box

• 2 x 12V short actuators
• 2 x 9 x 12" NZ-made stainless steel heavy-duty upturned trim tab plates (3mm)
• 1 x Joystick LED Controller (CJLC-11)

These components come together as a single, cohesive trim-tab system designed to install quickly and operate reliably in harsh marine environments.

Why this kit stands out

The Lectrotab JLC-11 family puts trim control at your fingertips with a compact, marine-grade controller that displays the position of each tab. Highlights include:

• LED position indicators for each trim tab, so you always know exactly where your tabs are—even in bright sun or low light.
• NMEA 2000 compatibility for easy integration with marine networks and other systems onboard, reducing wiring complexity and improving data visibility at the helm.
• Single joystick control to move both tabs up or down in unison, simplifying operation during cruising, wake handling, or docking maneuvers.
• Automatic recall to last position when the ignition or accessory power is switched off and back on, ensuring a familiar trim setup on every start.
• Fully sealed and waterproof construction that resists salt, sun, and spray without deteriorating over time.

Less clutter, more confidence: the CJLC-11 offers a streamlined control experience that reduces helm workload while delivering precise boat trimming. Dual-station readiness lets you add a second JLC-11 and JR-* cable if you need independent control at two helm positions.

Technical details and real-world benefits

• : The kit uses robust stainless steel plates designed for longevity in marine environments, delivering predictable lift and dependable stance across a range of speeds and loads.
• 2 x 12V actuators: Sufficient stroke and force to alter the boat’s pitch and roll quickly, helping you reduce planing time, improve spray control, and maintain a smoother ride in chop.
• LED tab position readouts: Real-time visibility into tab angles per side, enabling precise adjustments for seating, speed, and weight distribution without guesswork.
• NMEA 2000 compatibility: Simple integration with other marine electronics and data networks, facilitating unified system monitoring and easier diagnostics.
• No external power module required: Clean wiring and fewer components at the helm, reducing potential failure points and simplifying installation.

Lectrotab’s approach blends rugged hardware with smart control. The result is a trim-tab system that not only performs exceptionally but also communicates clearly with your other marine systems for a smoother, more confident ride.

As a trusted name in electromechanical trim tab systems, Lectrotab emphasizes corrosion resistance, precise engineering, and long-term reliability—essentials for boaters who demand consistency on every voyage. The CJLC-11 controller adds an intuitive, data-backed layer to trim management, so you can focus on enjoying the water.

Ideal use cases

• Cruisers and day boats that need fast, repeatable trim adjustments for varying passenger loads and fuel ballast.
• Risers into chop or following seas where quick tail-down or bow-down corrections improve ride comfort and reduce spray.
• Owners seeking a clean helm layout with joystick-style control and at-a-glance tab position feedback.
• Boat operators planning to network trim control with other NMEA-compatible devices for streamlined boat systems.

Installation and compatibility notes

The kit is designed for 12/24V DC systems and is compatible with NMEA 2000 networks via the CJLC-11 ecosystem. It supports a single- or dual-station setup (you can add a second JLC-11 unit and JR-* cable for independent control at a second helm). The controller brings a compact, weatherproof package to the helm with clear LED indicators and a responsive joystick action. Automatic retraction and calibration features help ensure reliable performance after power cycles or ignition changes.

Care, maintenance, and tips

• Rinse and dry after saltwater use to extend the life of actuators and hinges.
• Periodically inspect connections and the joystick for smooth operation; ensure the LED indicators remain bright and legible in daylight.
• Follow the installation manual for calibration steps when installing on a new vessel or after major electrical work.

Choose the Lectrotab 9x12 Trim Tab Kit with CJLC-11 for a proven, durable solution that delivers precise, intuitive trim control, clear position feedback, and network-ready integration for a more enjoyable, controllable boating experience.
