hydro foils on small outboards & boats

Featured Replies

Hey I'm new to the site.  Does anyone know anything about Hydro foils for small outboards like 10hp size are they worth it to prevent porpoising in small boats? I have a BassTender 10.6 and recently bought a 9.8 hp Tonhatsu 4 stroke Outboard. I'm am wondering if these things help or are they a waist of money. ???

I put one on a 40 hp. It seems to help alot on both slow and fast take offs.  It goes up on plane alot quicker and controls the bow lift pretty well.  The main reason I tried one was my prop would wash out alot.  It pretty much stopped that problem.  I think my boat handles alot better, with it on.  It might help if you can get the motor trimmed right.
