Cracked My Hydrofoil.. Can I Still Use It On My Merc 150?

Featured Replies

Backed it too far into my garage. Will this damage affect my steering? Should I take it off?

You should still be able to use it. Once you're on plane it should be out of the water anyway if set up properly. The only effect I really see as possibly happening is it pulling a little at take off, but that should be minimal. 

I would replace or remove it. With a 150 you have some serious low end torque. You don't want any surprises on take off or coming down off plane. Better to be cautiuos and safe.

1 for, 1 against. Looks like I'll show up to my tourney and let the rest of my club decide
