Hydro Shield Review (Follow-Up)

This is my second Hydro Shield, and I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with this product—even after an unfortunate encounter with some rocks (totally my fault, not the product’s). The first Hydro Shield took the brunt of the impact, and while the bolts snapped off, it managed to leave what was left of my skeg intact, which I was incredibly thankful for.

That level of protection speaks volumes about the design and durability of the Hydro Shield. It’s like having insurance for your boat’s lower unit. The fact that I immediately replaced it with another one after the incident shows how much I trust this product to safeguard my boat and enhance its performance.

On the water, it’s a game-changer. The stabilization and smoother engine performance make every outing more enjoyable, and I have no plans to run my boat without one ever again. If you’re looking for a reliable way to protect your investment, the Hydro Shield is well worth it!

Received the shipment , overall quality looks excellent , cant wait to try it out , anyway I think its a good idea to mount a semi hydrofoil under a outboard , that also protects the marine environment and the prop , based in Spain I had to confront some import taxes . Will try to make the underside reflectant so it doubles as safety feature when trailered .

Fantastic product !!!!

Makes my boat float at slow speeds and keeps the Rocks away form my Propeller , Love it for Saving my Prop .

Har modtage ,og glæde mig til at montere Hydro-Shield.

hey

i haven't received it yet. there are problems with the customs, they don't accept proforma or commercial invoice.
I need a clean receipt with no invoice or proforma on.

Still waiting for it

I buy from Greenland and I recieve after 1 week

Easy to fit, functions well

I have ordered them to Germany. They arrived within 7 days.
Everything was perfect.
Now they are being transported to Cape Verde.
Here they will be used for whale watching with 2 Mercury engines of 150 hp each.
Thank you very much

This has been an every impressing experience of ingenuity and design !! When I viewed this product online and look into it and studied the logic behind it . I truly had to purchase it and see it with my own eyes and put it to the test . I worked in engineering for over 15 years seeing numerous innovating ideas come to life from a napkin to a sketch pad to a drafting board and then a 3d solid model CAD program . The Math and design is well thought out and proven.. I spoke with the owner with a concerning question and he took the time to call me back and go over every installation issue that I was concern with directly ! Installed it on my pontoon and put it thru the paces and I feel the incredible difference in control and performance and recommend it to friends and family !
Thank you and I will continue to be impressed on every outing !!

Large fin on 18' 9" bay boat with 90 hp Johnson - worked great 1 time out

I haven't had a chance to install yet waiting on my mechanic too get my boat in for electrical work and install my hydro- shield will give a better review next spring.

I installed the hydro-shield on my 50hp Mercury. Installation was easy following the directions. I was able to try it out on the Wisconsin river during a fishing trip.
the Hydro-Shield helped protect the prop and skegg on sand bars and rocks also a lot of floating debris when they opened the dam. It also help get on plane a little faster.

I'm not one to jump on the latest trends, or even write a review unless it's deserved.
Hydro-shield does what it says it'll do.
Quicker to plane.
Lower RPM to stay on plane.
And protect the prop.
I boat in Cedar key florida which is very shallow with sand & oyster bars. Very easy to run into shoaling.
Can't say much on fuel burn as I don't really monitor it, but I'm going to assume it has improved my fuel economy just because of the 1st 2 pro's I mentioned.
Solid product for a reasonable price.
