Four different sizes available. Check chart for compatibility. Improve Performance - The skeg-mounted R-45 hydrofoil for outboard engines gets your boat on plane faster, enables it to remain on plane at lower speeds and RPM settings which translates to improved fuel economy at the low & mid RPM settings. Improved handling and enhanced helm control are additional benefits aside from protection for the prop, skeg and lower unit gearing. Shield Your Propeller - Our high quality, energy-absorbing thermoplastic compound is designed to reduce damage and costly repairs due to underwater impacts at low and moderate speeds. The included bracket system provides added skeg protection. Protect Marine Life - Prevent wildlife death or injury due to propeller strikes. Hydro-Shield’s attachment to the bottom of your motor leaves manatees, sea turtles, and aquatic grass beds unscathed in the case of contact. Easy Installation - This simple, two-step process can be completed in 20 – 25 minutes. The kit is Made in the USA and includes all of the hardware you need, including marine-grade Stainless Steel bracket system with bolts and lock nuts.

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.
