Let customers speak for us
from 223 reviewsAll good with ordering product online and just about to install the Hydro Shield for usage this summer. I really like the Hydro Shield protection of my prop in shallow water areas and looking forward to see/test if product produces or allows boat to planes up faster with less petrol usage.
Product is very easy installation,
Thank you !!!
I added the Hydro shield to my 25 HP engine on the back of a 17' aluminum Valco skiff. At the mouth of the harbor I gunned it and the speed with which the boat jumped onto the plane was scary. With the engine set not all the way down but at one stop from the bottom, I could reduce the RPMs to something quite low and still skim across the surface of the water. If I wanted to go fast however, the bow was forced downward very aggressively. I followed the installation instructions for an engine with no power trim, but in retrospect, I maybe should have cut that tilt to the shield in half (1/4" difference front to back rather than 1/2").
I am looking forward to trying the engine in different positions with different loads but I am very happy with the initial result.
My planing distance went from 250' to 5-'-10' AWESOME difference.
Great quality and fits perfectly. Have not been on the water yet
I just purchased one and look forward to putting it on. I purchased it because I had the opportunity to drive a boat that had one installed. An absolutely noticeable difference in handling and overall performance at both low speed and planing speed.
I bought one of the hydro-shields for my first boat and loved it from the day I put it on. Then when I sold that boat and got another boat that didn’t have one I could tell right away by the planing speed and the way it handled so I bought one for my new boat. Then a buddy of mine asked me how I liked mine so I told him I wouldn’t boat without it to which he told me to buy one for him so I didn’t hesitate to get one for him and install it on his boat. Great product like I said I wouldn’t boat without one on a boat again. Great protection, Great Handling, Better Fuel Economy and all around a Great product!!
Reduced plane speed by 5 mph and hole shot has no drop in back. Great product
I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to feel any different in performance but honestly the boat rides so much better, gets on the plane quicker , increased top speed and a smoother ride . It was easy enough to install, a bit fiddly to align and being in Australia I would have appreciated metric measurements on the instructions. Delivery was much quicker than expected, all in all I’m very happy with them.
Made a big difference in getting my boat up on the plane. Quality product.
Great service and follow up. Great product
I orginally rated a 3 , as the steering was all over placec. Dale contacted me , and after sending him pictures and measurements , help me sort it out , steering is spot on and pick up is better
Great product excellent service
Installation was easy after consulting with their excellent service. Be sure you are clear with the A-D measurement.
My boat was very sensitive to trim changes and always on the edge of purposing. Now I have 20* of usable trim and the boat never begins to porpoise . As a side benefit, it now jumps on plane with very little bow rise
Easy install and works great. Have one on both of my boats. Work great.
