Installation was a breeze, and the added protection to the skeg and propeller will come in very handy when up the creeks in the NorthernTerritory..Nice an solid when installed 👍
Still waiting for it
I have installed the unit, but it is too cold now to try it out. I will be anxious to try it out in the spring though!!
This has been an every impressing experience of ingenuity and design !! When I viewed this product online and look into it and studied the logic behind it . I truly had to purchase it and see it with my own eyes and put it to the test . I worked in engineering for over 15 years seeing numerous innovating ideas come to life from a napkin to a sketch pad to a drafting board and then a 3d solid model CAD program . The Math and design is well thought out and proven.. I spoke with the owner with a concerning question and he took the time to call me back and go over every installation issue that I was concern with directly ! Installed it on my pontoon and put it thru the paces and I feel the incredible difference in control and performance and recommend it to friends and family !
Thank you and I will continue to be impressed on every outing !!
