    Hydro tech blow out ring

    Anyone running one on a sho motor? How hard was the install Was there any other gains besides preventing high speed blow out Theses not much info online about them just wanted to see what everyone thought of them

    I have one, the only difference I noticed was the prop didn't vent well when powering on the trailer. Didn't run it very long, cracked a blade on my Bravo and the ring rubbed on the T1 so I took it off. Wasn't hard to install just drill and tap some holes, pretty simple.

    Well dang I’m running a t1 prop.... I have a few other props I can play around with some more but I have a little $ tied up in the t1 and like the all around performance of it. I Just ordered the blow out ring from hydro tech and told them what prop I was running

    Mine didn't rub too bad but I don't think it should rub at all, didn't try to reposition it so I just removed it for now.

    I think they fixed the “rubbing issue”. On a Sho it will cut your slip in half, or close to it.

    I have it on my boat and I *think* it's value added. I run a Mercury Bravo 1 prop, have tremendous holeshot and the stays on plane without porpoising.
