Let customers speak for us
from 271 reviewsWe have a 21’ dual console Cobia and this is just what our boat needed. It has a raked up front end, and was rather bouncy definitely felt like we weren’t getting our full potential. Now with the hydrofoil it’s been night and day difference. And so much easier to install than trim tabs
Retired Canadian Grampa here,
2010 18.2ft Smokercraft fishing boat.
Badly porpoising across the lake and no power when trying to get going (cat walking the bow).
Hydro-shield has stopped the porpoising and my dentures stay in my mouth now.
The boat trims out effortlessly, so it will save me fuel and oil long term (cover the cost of the hydro).
Recommend that the instructions should say how far back or forward the hydro should be from the prop for a faster installation.
Middle hub to hydro 1.5" (used a level)
Prop fin to middle of hydro is 1/2".
Great product so far.
I would recommend it.
Ordering was easy Quick delivery installation was even easier.However, I did have a few questions. Send a text. To Dale McDonald He called me back immediately very impressive. He was able to help me and answer my questions. Product looks very well made.Can't wait to get on the water to try it and have piece of mind protecting my lower unit and prop.
Was skeptical about how it would improve performance. Couldn’t believe how fat the boat got on step, how easy the boat turned and also gained a couple mph more at lower rpm 10 out of 10 recomend.
Bedst pice of equipment i have bought in a looong time
The install was easy.
I may have lost a little off the top speed but it is better out of the hole and seemed to be a smoother ride too.
All bonuses. I fish where there are rocks and wood and the added protection is what i bought it for.
Every was OK, from the order to the delivery ! I recommend !
My boat plains out faster and makes the ride much smoother . A really great product!’j
Buy it .. plains our your boat real fast .. gets your skier's up fast ... Love it ..
Excellent communication with owner prior to order, prompt shipping and great instructions on how to install (watch the video)... very smart product, feels like we have the whales (Nature design...) helping push our twin engine outboards - happy boating & 'fins up' from Vancouver Island
My 9.9 hp equivalent Epropulsion was giving me 11 kph , now 13 kph. On a 24 ft pontoon. My lake is shallow and grass is fouling everybody’s propeller and it doesn’t help with that.
I’d some issues with my stern not lifting and porpoising.
The hydro shield helped me with both. Get on plane even faster. I’m now able to trim out more and my boat fells more stable on plane and stays on plane better at lower rpm.
Way better than a standard hydrofoil and worth every penny. Easy install with good instructions.
Installed on my 1994 Lund 1650 fisherman with a Honda bf90
I own a 19’ Twinn-Vee Bay Cat with a 140HP Suzuki.
The boat is a great fit for fishing but has always had several dynamic issues.
The hull was difficult to get on plane and required roughly 4200 RPM’s to sustain planing. On calm days I fish 10-15 miles offshore. When seas increase and speed must be reduced, inability to remain on plane is a large issue.
Additionally, single screw catamarans tend to lend themselves to prop ventilation.
I installed the Hyrdo-Shield to address these two issues.
It has made a tremendous difference in the performance of this small craft! I can now reduce speed when running into seas and still remain on plane improving speed and comfort.
The Hydro-Shield is well worth the price.
I will mention that the YouTube installation video could use improvement.
Easy to install . very helpful to handle boat in the waves. Very good on high speed
Fits like a glove, just installed cant wait to make a run.
