Installed it! But haven’t ran it yet…stay tuned will be tested before summer

It went on fairly easily and has helped our performance and handling

Crazy difference jumps up on plane really fast now differently not a gimmick

INSTALL IS FAST AND BOAT GETS TO PLANE FASTER

I didn’t install it yet but look very good

Arrived on time, installed it in about 20 minutes haven't been on the water yet.

This is excellent boat turns tighter and the boat plans a lot quicker

I can’t wait to use it!

I'm a full-time captain in the Virgin Islands and recently installed the Hydro-Shield on my 10-foot tender’s outboard—easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made. Before, the dinghy really struggled to get on plane. With just one person, it would squat hard until I gave it a ton of throttle, and with three or more people, it was a real challenge to plane at all. Now, with the Hydro-Shield, the tender lifts evenly and planes quickly—no more squatting, and no more needing to shift everyone around just to get going.

Installation was quick and easy—took me about 30 minutes with basic tools. For the performance improvement alone, it’s worth every penny, but the bonus is how much it protects the prop. I do a lot of guest drop-offs at beaches, and this keeps the prop from digging into sand or hitting rocks. It’s a solid layer of protection that gives me a lot more confidence in shallow areas.

The boat also has way more bite in the water now. Turning feels different at first, but once you get used to it, the added control—especially when towing tubers or running heavy—is a big plus. More grip means better handling all around.

I’ll be telling all my captain friends to get one, no question. Even if your dinghy already performs well, the Hydro-Shield takes it to the next level.

I boat in the Chain of Lakes in Northern Illinois. Some of the lakes are shallow and have logs and debris in them. I bought this product to save my prop and lower end. Works great

Not only does the Hydro Shield brings my boat on plane quickly, it does at a slower speed. The turning and handling has also improved.

We put it on a 30 hp Mercury that pushes an inflatable rescue boat. Just installed and it will get tested soon. Good looking product.

Second one i have purchased worked great the first time and just as well the second

I was very hesitant about mounting the Hydro-Shield to my skeg. I did not want to drill the four holes for mounting it. Just completed my first fishing trip with this unit mounted. My boat gets on plane much faster and at lower speed than before. The boat is more stable while on plane and turns much better. It also allows me to stay on plane at lower speed as well. Part of my fishing was in very shallow water and this unit protected my skeg and prop. I’m very pleased with this product.

Sea Ray 180 CB, Mercuiser V8, Hecklastig zwecks schwerem Motor und zwei Batterien. Komme jetzt viel schneller in Gleitfahrt, Bug steigt nur noch moderat. Welle wie gehabt (zwecks Wassersport), Gleitfahrt 300 u/min schneller. Montage relativ einfach. Es soll noch ein Einbauvideo kommen vom Hersteller. Inch muss man sich halt umrechnen für das Einstellen des Montagepunktes. Würde es wieder kaufen. Leider mein Shipping aus der EU, daher noch Zoll und Einfuhrumsatzsteuer.
