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.
Wotks as described
Made the performance of our Highfield RIB with 60 hp Tahatsu much better. Planes quicker and stays on plane at lower speed. Was able to install in water very easily.
Easy Installation excellent quality works great
Installation was fairly easy, it took me about 45 minutes, I noticed instantly how quickly my boat jumps up on plane, and she rides smooth well into the turns, glad I bought this product
