| I use a ShallowBlaster on a 200 hp Yamaha mounted on a 23' Explorer TV and it helps me run shallow by keeping water around my prop so the engine can be elevated. If you have a similar engine/hull I would encourage you to consider it. |

Simple answer. Yes they do, when the right one is installed correctly. High horse power will require something better. Those have a history of breaking off taking a piece of amti-cav plate with it. If it's for hole shot start with a better prop. Then look inty the Shawwings, shallowblaster, ect. Stsy away from one in flat plastic packaging.
It's all part of the fun of B.O.A.T. _________________ Adrift on the Mother Lagoon |

My gut feel is, if they really did work they would be coming from the engine/boat manufacturer already installed.
I HAVE found that trim tabs work well, (factory installed) but I'm not convinced on the aftermarket motor mounted fins. |
