Stingray outboard & sterndrive hydrofoil permatrim NZ

Stingray Hydrofoils: Solve Cavitation Problems and Enhance Boat Performance

 

Stingray outboard hydrofoil permatrim NZ

If your boat is suffering from cavitation issues, look no further than the Stingray Hydrofoil. This exceptional solution tackles the problem head-on by enhancing the size of the factory cavitation plate and introducing innovative designs. By doing so, the Stingray hydrofoil greatly reduces the occurrence of propeller-induced air pockets, which are a primary cause of cavitation and ventilation problems.

Featuring an expanded cavitation plate and expertly tuned and designed shapes, the Stingray Hydrofoil actively compresses and consolidates the water surrounding the propeller. This process ensures a steady and consistent water flow, effectively eliminating any chance of air being drawn into the propeller. Say goodbye to cavitation troubles and experience smooth sailing with the reliable Stingray Hydrofoil.

Common Cavitation Problems and Symptoms

  • Motor revs higher and noise levels increase while speed decreases
  • Motor trimmed too high for the conditions or during the transition onto the plane
  • Disturbed or aerated water hitting the propeller due to hull design
  • Cavitation caused by badly placed transducer or through hull fitting
  • Hull deformities, such as hollows or hooks, leading to cavitation
  • Difficulty getting up on the plane despite high engine revs
  • Lack of forward progress despite high engine revs
  • Boat stalling during cornering while outboard motor revs up

Key Benefits of Stingray Hydrofoils

Stingray hydrofoil reduces planning speed

LOWER PLANING SPEED

Stingray Hydrofoils are a great way to improve the performance of your boat in rough conditions. By increasing the size of the factory cavitation plate, Stingray Hydrofoils provide a lot more stern lift, so you can stay on the plane at a lower speed. This is important for safety, as it allows you to maintain control of your boat even in choppy water.

In addition to improving safety, Stingray Hydrofoils can also improve your boat's performance. By reducing drag, Stingray Hydrofoils can help you increase your speed and fuel efficiency.

If you're looking for a way to improve the performance of your boat in rough conditions, Stingray Hydrofoils are a great option. They're easy to install and use, and they can provide a significant improvement in performance.


Stingray hydrofoil saves petrol

SAVE FUEL

In addition to its performance-enhancing features, the Stingray Hydrofoil offers significant fuel efficiency benefits, resulting in cost savings over time. By optimizing water flow around the propeller, the hydrofoil reduces drag and minimizes the occurrence of cavitation, which can waste fuel. The improved stern lift and trim control provided by the hydrofoil allow your boat to maintain optimal planing speed with reduced engine RPMs, resulting in decreased fuel consumption. With the Stingray Hydrofoil, you can enjoy longer journeys on the water while minimizing fuel expenses, making it a smart investment for both your boating experience and your wallet.


Stingray hydrofoil makes your boat more stable

STABILIZE YOUR BOAT

Stingray Hydrofoils can help you make your boat more stable and eliminate porpoising. Porpoising is a condition that occurs when a boat's hull bounces up and down in the water, causing a jarring ride. Stingray Hydrofoils can help to prevent porpoising by increasing the stern lift of the boat. This allows the boat to plane at a lower speed, which can help to smooth out the ride.

In addition to preventing porpoising, Stingray Hydrofoils can also help to improve the trim control of your boat. This is important because it allows you to adjust the angle of the boat's hull to suit the conditions. For example, you can trim the bow down in a rough head sea to reduce pitching, or you can trim the bow up in a following sea to reduce slamming.

Overall, Stingray Hydrofoils can help to make your boat more stable and comfortable to ride. They are a great option for boaters who want to improve the performance and safety of their boat.

 


Stingray hydrofoil reduces cavitation & ventilation

REDUCE CAVITATION & VENTILATION

Cavitation and ventilation are two common problems that can affect the performance of your boat. Cavitation occurs when the propeller is not submerged in water, and ventilation occurs when air is drawn into the propeller. Both of these problems can cause the engine to rev higher, the noise level to increase, and the boat's speed to decrease.

Stingray Hydrofoils can help to reduce cavitation and ventilation by increasing the size of the factory cavitation plate and by optimizing the shape of the hydrofoil. This helps to condense and compress the water around the propeller, which helps to prevent air from being drawn in.

In addition to reducing cavitation and ventilation, Stingray Hydrofoils can also help to improve the performance of your boat in a number of other ways. They can help to increase fuel efficiency, improve handling, and make your boat more stable in rough conditions.

If you are experiencing cavitation or ventilation problems, Stingray Hydrofoils can be a great solution. They are easy to install and use, and they can provide a significant improvement in the performance of your boat.
