Hydro Shield will get your boat on plane faster, allowing you to remain on plane at lower speeds and rpm's. It also improves handling and lowers your fuel burn at low and cruising RPM settings. Hydro-Shield will also protect your propeller from damage due to underwater impacts, and its 316th's marine grade stainless steel bracket system acts as a skeg guard, strengthening and reinforcing the skeg.
Made from an energy-absorbing plastic compound, Hydro Shield can withstand impacts, natural or man-made. Even if your boat strikes natural hazards like rocks, coral, oyster beds, or sandbars, or man-made hazards like lobster and crab pots, Hydro Shield maintains its integrity and protects your prop and skeg.

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.
Every was OK, from the order to the delivery ! I recommend !
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 had a 115 hp two stroke mercury Vmax and I purchased the 115 to 215 shield and that one was way too big for my motor, but I loved it so when I bought my new boat, which also had a 115 I went to the smaller one that goes up to 100 but there is a 115 drop-down. It’s weird. But to make a long story short, I absolutely love the smaller one on my 115 and it is incredible for planning out my try to Boat. She planes in about 20 feet and I absolutely love the Hydro shield or protects. My Scagg and my prop will probably have to buy another one for my fishing boat now.
