Lenco Trim Tab install on 2002 X-30

[Sodar]

Looks Great! Totally factory. That is odd how they got around not using a shorter actuator.

Does that gauge say Deede?

It reads Beede. They are in Penacook, NH. It matches the Medallion gauges about 95%.

Bruce -

Shane at Divine Marine (www.divinemarine.com) in Mill Creek, WA did all the work. He did a great job. The custom fab work they had to do was the plate that the trim tab mounts to to be able to mount it up as high as possible to clear the rear drain plug and the custom bending (and rewelding) of the SS tab.

Everything else I supplied. Identifing the correct brain box, gauge and wiring harnesses was the most difficult part of this install.

Feel free to ask all the questions you guys (and gals) want.

No worries. It's realy hard to see at the angle I took the picture. The gauge is out of of 2005-2007 X-45.

I only did the trim tab to decrease the porpoising of the boat. With the L-18 engine in the boat, it's a little more rearend heavy than other X-30s with small block engines. I may to surf tabs down the road.

Is the posterior of a 2005 X-10 the same as your boat's posterior??? I really like how yours turned out. Where did you order the parts, directly from Lenco and Mastercraft dealership????

Thanks

I think the profile of the stern is very close between our years. As for where I got the parts, it was half and half.

I got the following parts from a Lenco distributor, Master Repair. They are literally 2 blocks from the Lenco factory in Florida.

> Control Box
> Trim Tab Blade
> Actuator
> Control Box wiring harness
> 20' Extension wiring harness
> Upper actuator bracket
> Switch, Rocker

From my MasterCraft dealer, I got these parts:

> Guage
> Guage wiring harness
> Lower actuator bracket
