 What is the difference between the hydrofoil fin that is mounted above the prop on an outboard motor and the HYDRO-SHIELD® fin which is mounted on the skeg,
below the prop? Both fins help the boat to plane, but the HYDRO-SHIELD® also protects the prop from damage. And the HYDRO-SHIELD® fin's location on the skeg gives the fin a longer lever arm to bring the boat to a plane quickly. Finally,
the HYDRO-SHIELD® was designed to protect Manatees. It is also sometimes called, because of its hydro-dynamic shape, a whale tail fin or a dolphin fin.
HYDRO-SHIELD®
is a prop protecting unit designed to improve both performance and boat
handling. Manufactured since 1989, and made from an energy absorbing

ALWAYS USE PROTECTION!
Remember to make it a Hydro-Shield®!
"I have been the happy owner of a HYDRO-SHIELD for about four years now
and in that time I have not had to replace a single prop or even have
work done by a propeller shop. This is all the more amazing since I
regularly fish shallow, rock and debris filled waters - many of which
are unfamiliar to me. I hit underwater obstructions like rocks and
stumps with it. I even once had it hit a sandbar at 25mph and the back
of the boat just came up as the HYDRO-SHIELD skimmed along the top of
the sandbar (I ended up walking the boat out of that one)." - Fred Maxwell, Alexandria, VA
Wanted you to know your HYDRO-SHIELD is a great idea that really works!" - John M. Hicks, Englewood, FL
