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.
