Hi, can anyone please explain what the advantage of installing motor fins are ?. I have a 15ft fibreglass half cabin with a mercury 45hp classic 50. Will it make a difference ?......
Yes sir, it'll make a difference. If you like the difference or not remains to be seen. Go to the search function and inter "hydrofoils". There are volumes of discussion about 'em.<br /><br />g'luck & c/6<br />Hooty
I have a 14 ft Halfcab and a 50hp Merc. The reason for the tail was to control the direction of the boat at low speeds. It solved that problem.<br />Seems to have taken up that delay, when you turn the wheel.<br />Noticed NO difference in any speed or ride capabilities..<br /><br />Nothing ventured.. nothing gained..
The "whale tail" is the cheapest most valueble item you can put on the motor to improve preformance. I recomend them to anyone who has a 150 or less. Good luck.<br />CU<br /><br />---------------------<br />RUNNING THE MOTOR WHILE LISTENING TO THE HORN WILL MAKE YOU MORN!!
I like them for the hole shot they provide and low speed stability. They also cut down on ventalation in high speed turns. I have lost no top speed with mine on both my pontoon or my runabout. Wouldn't run without one....
