We 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.
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.
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.
My boat plains out faster and makes the ride much smoother . A really great product!’j
