Guys for a little extra security , I install a brace underneath with to short pan head screws from the trim tab to the hydro foil ,works for me haven't lost one yet !! About 4-6 inches long ,maybe more on bigger engines . A thin flat bar or the strapping you use for securing plumbing , you get the idea . It's underneath so you won't see it or paint before you install if you want !!
I have the SE 300 on 150 yamaha engine more than 5 years and works perfect. Now I install the SE 400(drill free) on 225 mercury optimax and after 10-15hours of use in one month LOST IT ON THE SEA!!! They must redesign it.
My 300 stayed on for almost an entire season only to fall off. My 400 immediately slipped back approximately 3 inches after a couple of runs at speed. I re-tightened it after the first use only to find it slip back 3 to 4 inches again. If I tighten the bolts anymore, they will break (which happened to one of my bolts during my initial installation). Any suggestions? I really would like to keep the hydrofoil on; however, I’m literally throwing my money away. Thanks for any advice you may be willing to provide. Jim
James Bernthal James, there were some Sport 400s shipped without clear instructions on the position of the 2" rubber washers. Also, some of the rubber was too hard for a good grip on the bottom of the cavitation plate. Check to make sure the rubber washers cover the "step" on the top of the Disk-Grips and don't hesitate to ask us for the softer rubber washers. You may contact us through our web site, www.sesport.com. Thank you.
Just ordered that for my Whaler 130 super sport and will view when I get it for install.
This thing made a huge difference on my aluminum boat. Highly recommended.
