Troubleshooting & FAQ
What is the main benefit of this hydrofoil?
It improves boat performance by reducing bow rise and porpoising. This allows the boat to get on plane faster and maintain it at lower speeds, which can also improve fuel efficiency.
Is drilling required for installation?
Yes, this is a bolt-on hydrofoil that requires drilling four holes through your outboard or stern drive's cavitation plate. All necessary mounting hardware, including a drill bit, is included in the package.
Will this fit my Mercury 50 HP Four Stroke engine?
No, it is specifically not compatible with Mercury 40, 50, or 60 HP Four Stroke models. Please review the compatibility tables carefully before purchasing.
Can I install this on a Volvo Penta Ocean Series XDP drive?
No, this hydrofoil is not compatible with the Volvo Ocean Series XDP drive. It is also not compatible with MerCruiser Bravo II drives.
What is the hydrofoil made of?
It is constructed from a high-strength, marine-grade reinforced Nylon-PA66 plastic designed to withstand harsh marine environments.
