It’s good to have people out there willing to help, because being on a stranded boat sucks. I’ve towed in 3 people so far this summer and it amazes me how many people won’t stop when trying to be waved down. One thing I do is always carry cash on me because if I break down and someone has to tow me, the least I can do is give them a few bucks for their troubles.

Thats why you ACTUALLY test and don't listen to the internet. That view with less bow rise is worth it all by itself. People asking why wouldn't engine manufacturers incorporate these on new engines...its because these engines are put on a thousand different hulls and combinations. There is no way to predict every scenario. Most times these fins don't work great..but sometimes they do. Great job cap. Good to see someone take risks and do real tests.

Good job Captain . Helping another Boatsman in need is the only choice out on the water . You handled that situation very well . Also as someone else commented I wondered about the position of you’re motor up or down as far as correct measurements are concerned in relationship to the length of you’re out drive ? Some boats use what I think is called a skip jack which allows the motor to be adjusted up and down on the transom in order to get the optimum performance . It’s something to think about .

Advantage of a hydrofoil is to be on the plan, at a lower speed. Which is great in rough conditions, chop, fetch. They are not for vessels operating at high speeds. They are also dangerous on turns with certain hull shapes. If you can’t trim your vessel, raise and lower the bow underway. Your motor is either under powered, has the wrong transom angle, or the vessel has a hook in the hull!? 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

Hey Cap, I had the SE 400 installed on my last boat and it worked great! I'm about a month away from my new 2120 coming in and will probably install the same hydrofoil. However, I thought that the trim tabs would assist in lowering the bow? Is that not correct? I really appreciate all of your instructional videos and have learned a lot about the 2120. I can't wait for mine to come in!

Monitor those bolts, or carry replacements. Both hole-shot videos indicate "With Hydrofoil". Did you intend for one of those starts to read "WITHOUT" the hydrofoil? I have this same hydrofoil on two different motors (one 125 Merc, and I replaced that with 200 Merc) and the foil provides much better hole short and stability on my 22' Trophy Walk around (2002WA). It helps prevents porpoising. I also found that I can get a slightly faster 21" 3 blade prop (still keep the 4 blade when I have 5 or 6 people on board) for faster speeds (only 42/43mph) versus 37 to 39 with a 4 blade 19" prop. When running with my Merc, I want max rpm to be around 5800 rpm (not that I run that fast frequently, as it sucks down the fuel). One thing I found, and you should monitor, is that the bolts that came to install the Hydrofoil actually broke (two of them). I can not explain why, but I ran to the local hardware and purchased all new stainless steel replacements bolts, and lock nuts (taller than factory install with more threads and better grip), and haven't had any other issues (except I had to cut with a hacksaw to the exact length).

They have smaller ones check my link and it will take you to Amazon ware you can find the one you need cap👍

I have an Yamaha hpdi 175 on the same boat I never go over 4000 rpms do 8-9 gph at 27 mph so the 4 stroke isn’t much better on fuel

Yes and also remember that gear on the boat makes a big difference on fuel economy. And yes if I go 4000 RPM I can do probably 6 miles per gallon

Wow that’s excellent 6 mpg or 6 gph either way that’s really good, what speed does it do at 4000 rpms

Hello cap check out this video i think you can find out the exact one im using kzread.info/dash/bejne/go2Gw7SulqXAdqw.html

Bennet Auto Pro trim tabs are a much better solution. Hydro foil only helps with hole shot and slow speed……. after that it is a hindrance.
