Thumbs up and comment for helping a fellow boater, these things cost us a fortune last thing you need is a tow bill if you even have service to call for one

[@OutOnTheReef]

thanks cap, for watching👍

[@henryratajczak7806]

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

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@johngranato2673]

I used to paint the inside of the drilled holes and I used stainless prevailing torque nuts. Take care, Skipper.

[@jacktyler7599]

Looked like the display showed 3.1 gph with the Foil but 3.6 without it, when running ~4700. Generalized Hydrofoil owner comments seem to agree that it handles better with the foil (especially with hulls that like a hard chine) but produce a little less top end speed and a little less speed for a given rpm. Appreciate the video, Cap'n.

I tried the SE 200 on my Suzuki 9.9 and it didn't work at all for me no matter how I trimmed the engine. I was half expecting a negative review, but it's always nice to see when someone tries something like this and has success. Nice video review!

[@OutOnTheReef]

sorry to hear that yours did not work cap. i think every application is different

[@swissavia8523]

What was the application?

[@Patriot-up2td]

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!

[@OutOnTheReef]

i agree cap. i tested mine at sea and it works amazing on my heavy Pilothouse boat

[@javizero89]

Your a good man!!! Love to watch videos like this!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Fransisco 🤗👍👍

[@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.

[@robertoabrahantes3442]

Capitan usted es completo,saludos.

[@OutOnTheReef]

gracias Roberto y buenas noche capi 👍

[@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.

[@jglez4965]

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.

[@OutOnTheReef]

I agree captain most of the people that say more negative things about it is that they don't like to open holes on their outdrive

[@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. 👍👍

[@cliffcampbell8827]

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.

[@megastick9324]

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?

[@fhernandez07]

Capt seal those holes with paint, sealant or epoxy. You have exposed raw aluminum that corrode in no time in salt water. Good luck and glad you improved your ride with that hydrofoil.

[@OutOnTheReef]

thank you Captain for the heads up I definitely will do that

[@D1CANIBL]

Had one on a 50hp Yamaha. Amazing improvement. Had one on a small boat and made it porpoise really bad. Think I will stick one on my new 14’ with a Honda 50

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 👍⚓️

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.

I can't wait for mine to come in!

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.

Thank you for being part of my channel and we'll stay in touch captain👍👍⚓

[@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 awesome job! Really cool boat, I just recently got a 20ft center console I’m working on rebuilding. Can’t wait to get back on the water!

Hi, just wondering what lake did you go to?

[@OutOnTheReef]

lake TOHO

Saludos desde Puerto Rico. Donde puedo comprar ese face mask ?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Saludos Amazon y tengo el link en la descripcion abajo, en la lista ,bucala hay cap. Saludos

[@leoaa777]

I think you could benefit from raising your engine a hole or 2.

[@OutOnTheReef]

You think that will make my RPMs higher and that will help a lot?

[@leoaa777]

Out On The Reef yes, the cavitation plate and the trim piece now looks buried, should be above the water. It should help bump the rpms, you should be closer to 6000. Measure the cav plate with a straight edge , should be 2 inches above the bottom of the hull.

1 day when you need help some1 will help you good man

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Edward that's awesome we all need to help each other👍👍

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

[@randyelston7063]

Stainless and aluminum corrode, should put sealant in there

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes I went back and I put some protective sealant there. Thanks cap. 👍👍

[@lou198]

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

[@ricktoole9991]

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

What model Garmin MFD chart plotter are you using?

[@OutOnTheReef]

is a 9 inch and i placed the link in the description below check it out is a awesome unit

[@morriscorreia7282]

Raced in that lake many times with my 24 skater cat

[@OutOnTheReef]

Wow and it is a great late but is changing every year because of hydrilla

[@sdarnell72]

If they are so good then why don't outboard motor builders just build them into the lower unit from the factory? Also why don't you see them on race boats?

[@OutOnTheReef]

The reason manufacturer dont do this to all motors is because not all boat need this ,this is made for heavy transom boats and underpowered boats like mine that needs that extra transom lift and speed boats dont need this because they have enough power, hope this ensures you question cap.😉👍⚓

[@winggunsbp]

A lot of boats come from the factory withe factory with hydraulic trim plates but if you don't have them This is a really good alternative without having to spend 3 grand.

Hola Capitan, tengo un 1998 Key Largo 156 con un 2021 Mercury 50HP, le he probado varias combinaciones de propeller para ver si aumento un poco la velocidad porque no supera las 28 millas a 5300rpm. Usted cree que esto me ayudara ? Yo creo que tenia que haber comprado un motor de 60 o 70hp pero en ese monento es lo que habia en stock.. :-( Un abrazo, veo siempre sus videos Gracias miles....

[@OutOnTheReef]

Saludos capitan y si creo que nesitavas un motor mas grande ,lo mismo me susede a mi tengo un 200hp pero en verdad nesesito un 225 hp ,el hydrofoil te ayuda a bajar lo propa y te ayuda a planear mas rapido pero no te ara que el varco balla mas rapido. Y gracias por ser parte de mi canal capitan , un avrazo.🛥👍⚓️

[@go_kiko]

@@OutOnTheReef Tenia pensado vender el Mercury y comprarme un Suzuki 70hp pero no se si será buena la inversión? Aún el Mercury está en garantía, no se si sería bueno perforar la pata? Que me puedes aconsejar mi hermano? 🤦‍♂️ Gracias por responder 👍

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@go_kiko espera que se le balla la garantia para que no la pierdas capitan eso es lo que yo aria Saludos capitan
