Common Concerns Answered
Is the switch kit included with this Lenco trim tab system?
No, the switch kit is sold separately. This requires an additional purchase and selection of a compatible control unit for operation.

Extension harnesses are available for purchase, addressing the need for longer wiring runs on larger vessels. Customers have noted this possibility, with solutions readily accessible.

The decision to sell the switch kit separately allows boaters to choose the control interface that best suits their operational preferences and boat's existing electronics, though it necessitates an additional selection and budget allocation.
