Hydro-Shield R-45 Hydrofoil Boat Stabilizer for 8-100 HP Motors - Skeg-Mounted Thermoplastic Shield with Stainless Steel Mounting Brackets - Standard Size Fin for Boats Under 18 Feet

Description

Our skeg mounted hydrofoil for outboard engines improves boat performance and provides propeller protection from underwater impacts.Hydro-Shield’s lift enables a faster time to plane (400-1200 RPM less). Improved handling provides a softer ride and reduced porpoising, plus enhanced helm control for tighter turns. Hydro-Shield also improves fuel economy up to 8% at mid range RPM settings.The propeller, skeg and lower unit gearing are protected from underwater impacts at low and moderate speeds, reducing damage and costly repairs. The hydrofoil prevents entanglement from crab and lobster pots and weeds.This shielding also protects marine life such as manatees and sea turtles from death and injury due to propeller strikes, and reduces destruction of marine grasses.Made from a thermoplastic compound that absorbs impacts by deflecting without transferring 100% of the energy to the skeg, plus a marine grade bracket system that provides added skeg protection.
