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.

Fantastic!

This works perfectly on my aluminum utility boat with a 20 hp motor. It now planes properly and gets up on plane much faster.
Five stars! Bravo!

porpoising problems

I have a 16' boat with a 50hp tiller controlled motor that had a bad problem porpoising even in the calmest waters. Hydro-shield not only took that completely away but also made the steering easier and more responsive.
