Interesting creature.
I noticed their "testimonial"s are from '91-2000.

Strange.

And origionally built to protect Manatee's from a prop. I'm not sure
how much protection the animal would get when some yack goes flying
though the water at 40-60 and whacks one.

"Woah, doooode! The man's dead but it saved the prop" "Yo!, this
thang really DOES work!...."

Well, wouldn't you know it....I installed a brand new prop before the
boat
was splashed and I ran into a submerged log today, doing some damage to
that
prop. The old one goes on and the not so new one comes off to get
repaired.

After I got home I surfed the net and ran across this product called
Hydro-Shield............ http://www.hydro-shield.com/why.htm It
attaches
to the bottom of the lower unit skeg and is advertised to not only
protect
the prop and skeg but improve performance.

I was thinking of putting on a set of Doel-Fins but this product seems to
offer more benefits, if what they claim is true.

Has anyone used this product on the I/O or O/B?

TIA for your answers.


All solid advice! Thanks.

The only way for you to know If this thing will work for you, is if you
try it. If you really think you need something like this, it seems you
need to make a small investment to find out.
