I always stop and help another boater, and will never take anything for helping. Thank you for helping the fellow boaters.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes, captain, I agree with you a 100%. We need to help others like we will love to be helped when we need it.👍

[@Gmtail]

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.

[@OutOnTheReef]

i do the same cap. is the right thing to do👍

[@clintwilliams8228]

hell yeah, I have taken so many kayakers onto my boat and taken them to shore when they are stuck in the wind or channels - always be prepared edit: grammar is hard

Always keep a trolling motor in your pocket ol son

[@kosznt]

In Missouri it’s law that you must help another boater as long as it’s safe to do so.

[@slagletoby]

It’s USCG regulation to stop to assist a stranded mariner whether you’re in the lake or sea.

I rendered aid and towed a family with small kids in on the very first trip in the boat I have now on it’s first day on the water. I thought that was a fitting way to christen her.

You have to help, it's the law

[@jimbruce9744]

I got towed once, from 30 miles offshore Freeport,!Texas by the coast guard. I had electrical problems. I was towed on a 200 foot rope at 4 knots. Took over 5 hours. When we got to the dock they asked if I needed help loading it. I turned the key and it started. I looked at them and said oops. They laughed and said it happens all the time.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@jimbruce9744 wow that's crazy Jim and the Coast Guard do a awesome service for us

[@mvintrigue-trawlerdiy1101]

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.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Captain and you really hit it on the nail is that most of all the bolts are different and they don't need a bigger I'll drive wings and thank you for the great common captain

[@sdarnell72]

I've owned boats my whole life and have experimented with these things and let me tell you they suck! ???You may get a slightly better wholeshot but after that it is just extra drag. My gas consunption went up and my speed went down on my 19ft Four Winns bowrider with a Mercruiser V8 Bravo.

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I’ve put hydrofoils on larger I/O’s and small outboards. They really help you get on plane quicker and eliminate any cavitation. Definitely worth it on smaller engines.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes I agree captain especially on the dingy that you have it helps 👍

[@awesomemodzzz6856]

i have a pontoon with a 150 hp, i ordered a hydrofoil, i hope it helps on the cavitation

[@Steve-yr5vi]

if you use your boat on a river with current a hydro foil can cause unpredictable destabilization as you enter an area with strong current vs. calm water. Nearly tipped my boat once, I got rid of it and installed smart tabs, they are a better solution any way you compare.

[@xavierg4743]

It is a game changer for every boat, a must have!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes i agree gives better performance

[@Steve-yr5vi]

smart tabs are better across the board and they don't stress your hydraulics.

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks buddy , for watching 😁👍👍

[@phillipternullo4934]

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 .

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes Philip they call that a Jack Plate and is very expensive I think it's about $2,000 probably and adds little weight on the boat to

[@phillipternullo4934]

Out On The Reef sorry I had not taken the expense into consideration . What you did makes much more sense for a lot less money . And besides I’m sure whoever installed you’re motor knew what they were doing . I look forward to all you’re video’s.

Hi captain, if you remember my comment about the hydrofoil is exactly what happened to my boat get on plain way faster and you can keep your boat a lower RPM on plain, so I don’t know why so many negative comments about the hydrofoil.

I’ve been running the SE Sport 300 on our pontoon boat for 14 years. The difference is remarkable. We never get cavitation or prop blow out. The thrust is much better focused. Turning is more precise. It’s absolutely worth getting and the SE is the best in tested performance. Best single upgrade we’ve ever made to our boat hands down!

[@UrbanFisherman]

Thanks for the info

[@OutOnTheReef]

[@jacksbackable]

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!? 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks for the tip cap. I use it on the mid speed that ware i get my best performance

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!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Congratulations Captain on your non Crooked Pilohouse hopefully. In my case I still need the hydrofoil even though I have the trim tabs they are heavy boats the lower the bow. And hopefully everything goes good on delivery make sure everything is lined up and measure out so that way it happened the same thing to happen to me Captain.

So with the hydrofoil upgrade, you get on plane quicker at a lower speed, better fuel economy, greater top speed/cruising speed and a more comfortable ride? Amazing improvements from just the addition of a small plate.

Yup, so amazing in fact, one wonders why manufacturers don’t just pop one on at the factory and use all those selling points you know?

Nice and got a save out of it as well. Are u going to put lock tight on the screws before u go out to the ocean? Name safe captain great job

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you will and the bolt has a tensioner that will not loosen so there is no need for Loctite. Thanks for the great suggestion Will

[@baitguru9197]

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).

[@OutOnTheReef]

That's great to know Guru I really appreciate the heads-up I will keep an eye on my bolts. 👍👍

[@dannyheard2449]

Capt..did U loose any top end speed with the foil on?...on my boats.ive always lost 1 to 3 mph..wide open

To avoid that sometimes i just tilt the engine some so there is less pressure from the Hydrofoil cap but yes there is more friction so it slows you down a little and thats because is pushing the bow down to make the ride comfortable 👍⚓️

How is the hydrofoil working for you ? Have you saved any fuel, and performance. What is the foil mad of . Thanks

[@OutOnTheReef]

is made out of hard plastic and i see great bow drop in my bow because i have a heavy transom but every boat is different do to weight displacement cap.

[@ricktoole9991]

@@OutOnTheReef Thank you for your time, I have a 16ft boat and fish skinny water. I need to get on top quick so thinking foil will help

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@ricktoole9991 Most definitely captain it will definitely help ,any time have a great date Rick

[@nickrdgz9323]

Capt, three years later, do you have any regrets about installing that foil?

[@OutOnTheReef]

not at all cap i love the way my boat rides with it 👍⚓

[@systematic_control367]

This video kind of reminds me of Drugs INC... hahaha

[@OutOnTheReef]

Lol This is all legal😉👍👍⚓🛥

[@SuperDlugo]

After some months gone by, are you still happy and using the Hydrofoil?

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes i don't regret installing it it helps a lot on my bow drop and feels like more steering control , i love it cap.

[@SuperDlugo]

@@OutOnTheReef Big fan of yours Love your boat. Thanks for the reply keep them coming.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@SuperDlugo anytime cap. thanks for being part of my channel ,navigate save⚓

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

[@OutOnTheReef]

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

[@lou198]

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

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@lou198 like 8 MPH i dont recomend the RPMs but they wary very low

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

dimelo capitan como fue con la aleta notaste la diferencia la probaste cuando esta cargado el barco

[@OutOnTheReef]

si Capitan travaja tremendo en mi aplicasion de varco, bajo la punta del barco como 4 a 5 pulgadas y se siente muy mejor en el mar

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

Out On The Reef ok bueno una mejora mas para el barco

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@DeepBlueChannelCom si y lo nesesitava Cap. Pero tu barco esta tremendo👍👍 Y mi henerador yo lo dejo bajo llubia y no le pasa nada pero no se de Honda si se pueden mojar

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

Out On The Reef capt ningun generador se deven mojar pero el honda no le entra agua !!!!! solamente tienes que tener cuidado que no se moje el outlet donde se conecta con el cable

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

pero este a pasado tormentas y lluvias y no le a pasado nada solamente una vez que fue muy intendi y no se apagan se lea va el breaker que tienen interior ????tienes que apagarlo y volverlos a encender

[@dzmsaab]

Im sorry my comment is bot related to the hydrofoil. But i just like your cap, sunglass, balaclava and the black thing you have on your pfd..if you dont mind pls advice me model and brand..i wanna get it for myself.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes cap if you look at the description below I have all my items that I use in my videos hope it helps

[@dzmsaab]

@@OutOnTheReef awesome..tq

[@atmm89]

you should have lubricated the ss bolts and also tainted the dilled holes to protect the aluminum

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes i went back and o did that cap. Thanks

[@atmm89]

@@OutOnTheReef well done

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@atmm89 thanks cap.

[@davidluong9885]

What size the propeller u used buddy?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Hello cap check out this video i think you can find out the exact one im using kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoq1koWrm6eNfKs

[@davidburchard3178]

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.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Hello cap. And i do have trimtaps already but this gi es me better performance at low RPM thanks for your comment 👍⚓️

[@michaelpierne]

did it get on plane faster?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes Michael I felt like it was a couple seconds faster with less effort

[@jakeblack2119]

Did u try any props

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes I did if you look at my channel you'll see the prop that I use I use a 4 blade prop

[@bradhuskers]

Will it fit a suzuki 6 hp?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Check out the link in the description below because they do have it for other engines models and horsepower
