hydrofoils

I got my new hydrofoil installed yesterday and took it for a short spin with Jim (Duck) and another friend aboard. Since I was replacing an old plastic (rubber) doe fin, I did not see a dramatic difference in "hole shot" but where I did see and feel the difference was in steering response at slow speed (docking). I have Bennet Trim tabs as well and wishing for this feature more then anything else.

For 39.95 plus shipping I am more then pleased with the setup.

I just got my bobs hydro installed last night...
I will see this weekend what differance it makes.
Glad to see you like your's.

Also when I installed mine i ended up with about a 1/8 gap in the front between the stabillzer and the hydro...I don't think it will be a problem, but I am not totally happy with that.
May take it back off and grind a few places to get a flush fit...we'll
see. ended up using 5200 on it since my 4200 was old and would not flow. I wanted to get it installed. Might be crucial error on my part if I need to take it off.. :crook .

I had a problem with the motors trim tab, and had to cut out the notch because of the angle of the tab. I called Bob's and this was what I was told to do. I had the same problem pertaining to bedding compound, and I subsituted Liquid Nails, since it is just to provide for reduced vibration and not required to really hold anything together.

Good Luck and let us hear from you once you have tested it out on the water.
