Hydro-Shield Hydrofoil Boat Stabilizer - Skeg-Mounted Shield for Motors with Marine Grade Mounting Bracket - Available in 4 Sizes - Improve Performance, Shield Your Propeller, and Protect Marine Life
Key features
- •L45 Compatibility - L45 is compatible with Volvo Penta sterndrives on boats over 18 feet, except for the SX Cobra series which requires an L35. Four different sizes available. Check chart for compatibility. Note: Select the R-size hydrofoil for pontoons up to 26 feet and 115HP.
- •Improve Performance - The skeg-mounted L-45 hydrofoil for inboard/outboard sterndrives 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.

I usually never write reviews but this made the list for doing so. I purchased a Hydro Shield last spring on my Monterey 214fs with a 5.0MPI and Alpha 1 outdrive because I was looking for a solution to porpoising. Well the Hydro Shield fixed that problem and also added some performance from getting up on plane sooner and also cruising at a lower rpm.
Now the fun part. I recently had the boat in Florida and being a northerner on Lake Erie i quickly found the moving sand bars to be tricky to navigate and ran into quite a few dragging the outdrive. Hit some harder than others but thankfully because of the Hydro Shield I never tore up the prop or damaged the skeag.
Here is where the Hydro Shield saved my but. All loaded up and trailering home on I-75 somehow my outdrive decided to spring a hydraulic leak and lower the outdrive. A nice passer by in the fast lane let me know, thankfully. Pulled off the highway fearing the worst and low and behold the Hydro Shield was scraping the pavement, completely melted but saved the outdrive.
I will never be without one on my boat.

Great Product!!!

Exactly as described and boat gets on plane more quickly and better fuel consumption.
This thing is brilliantly simple and effective.

This really works great to keep the propeller from striking things in shallow water or grinding into the river rock. It is simple, light weight and well designed. I'm happy with it.
No mounting hardware

Your paying for the protection cause the material is not worth the money. If it works its worth it to save a stainless prop. Did not send any mounting hardware ( bolts nuts)
Great!!!

Great! This has saved our prop multiple occasions from running into the ground or knocking rocks. Helps get on plane quicker as well.
