What Do Customers Report?

Many describe:

  • Faster time to plane
  • Lower planing speed
  • More effective trim response
  • Improved stability in choppy water
  • Less stern “bounce”
  • Smoother ride in waves
  • Better control in turns
  • Reduced RPM at cruising speed
  • Propeller protection as an added bonus

Results vary from boat to boat – but the improvements are consistent.


100+ HP & Larger Boats (18 ft +)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – “Instant improvement” (Australia, 300 HP Mercury)

 

Original:

Instant improvement. Quicker on plane, planes at lower speed and much smoother in chop. Must be more efficient and estimate added 3 knots to top speed.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – “My boat leaps out of the water” (USA, 135 HP)

Original:

My boat leaps out of the water. I can cruise at a much more comfortable speed. It’s like a new boat.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Stern Drive, 190 HP MerCruiser

Original:

Improved time to plane noticeably. Dramatically improved cruising in choppy water by holding the rear of the boat more stable.


8.9–100 HP (Up to 17 ft)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 20 HP Aluminum Boat

Original:

Now planes properly and gets up on plane much faster. Five stars!


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 75 HP Evinrude (Canada)

Original:

I was skeptical. After installation I honestly couldn’t be happier. Improved planing and increased top speed.


What’s Happening Technically?

Hydro Shield acts like an underwater spoiler.

During acceleration, it generates dynamic stern lift that:

  • Reduces time to plane
  • Keeps the bow lower
  • Makes trim adjustments more effective
  • Stabilizes the stern in waves
  • Improves control during turns

This is exactly what customers are experiencing on the water.
