Trim tabs not working

cls10105 · August 1

Hello friends and fellow boat owners.

I can’t get neither one of my trim tabs to work. I don’t know what happened that would make both of them stop working at the same time. Can anyone help me with this.

You check the fuses?

I checked all the push buttons type but that’s all

Hydraulic (Bennett) or electric (Lenco) tabs?

I think Lenco but I am not certain

Check all connections and grounds.

I had my controller go bad, I contacted Lenco and they sent me a new one for free.

On my 342 they stopped working and after troubleshooting I found no power at the switches. They are fed from the 12vdc power receptacle right next to the switches. Cleaned the connections and works like it should. Mine was a nice easy fix. Good luck and keep us posted.

I had the same experience, minus the free replacement.

Assuming you have the Lenco tabs, there is a controller box behind the dash panel. Open it up and look for corrosion.

@YYZRC , mine has the control box integrated with the switch assembly.

New version. I have that now, too.

Still not working but it is definitely a Lenco

Almost certainly the control box.

Would anyone know the one I would need for replacement?

Pull out your switch panel and see if it looks like this. There should be a part number on it. I’m pretty sure the new design replaces the old separate control box. It’s plug and play.

For some reason my picture deleted or maybe I didn’t do it right. Is this what it looks like?

I circled it in red. Looks like you have the integrated control box. Check the connections. Pull it out and look for a part number. You have to unscrew the circular nut on it.

Use a multi-meter to check if you're getting power at your switch. I once had my Lenco's get a little "sticky" at the tab themselves. A slight whack with a hammer, and I was good to go!

cls10105 · August 3

Sounds good I will get a hammer!

cls10105 · August 3

So this is connected to the tabs also. Mine is a USB charger the radio guy put it in but I guess it control both

This on the bottom my picture keeps deleting

Actually, that’s the older style switch assembly with the separate control box. If you can’t find the issue give Lenco a call, they’ll help you out.

I’m not 100% but this might be what you need if you can’t find any wrong.
