Looks like it would work, but I'm not finding much info on it from actual
users (web and newsgroup search) and it costs twice as much as a Doel-Fin
....a bit spendy don't you think? Interesting though.

Hello, My name is Frank and I live in Nutall Rise FL on the banks of the
Aucilla River. This section of the Aucilla is just loaded with rocks,
submerged logs, and an occasional manatee or gator. I had the same
problem you describe with my Tiller steered, 16' Carolina Skiff. A friend
I worked with put me on to a device that I am having outstanding success
with. Take a look at the "bolt on" Hydro-Shield. It brought the bow down
for better visibility and when the water was stained and the rocks and
such are not visible the hits that I had just bounced over with no prop or
skid damage.

Cheers, FIN

My son has a 14' light weight wooden skiff ............... it points it's
bow up nice and high when underway with our 6-horse. The boat just
settles on it's stern and off it goes ...but the visibility isn't so hot
if you happen to be the one with the tiller in your hand. I'm
considering a Doel-Fin, or similar, gizmo to put on the anti-cav
plate..................... we just don't want to run over any more logs
(or people or other boats) than we have to in the local lakes and bays,
and it'd help make the crab pot buoys easier to spot too...
Thx, Brian
