• Anyone ever try using one of these prop add-ons/cages for extra preformance
  • Here's another view
    • I had one similar.
      • Hi Paul. This one was plastic, looked like ABS or something like that, some but limited protection hitting rocks
        • Yeah, sounds like apples and oranges.
  • Yes. STAY AWAY
    • I thought it was to increase the efficiency of the prop by avoiding cavitation?
      • Kort Nozzle
        • A Kort nozzle MUST be precisely fitted and engineered
          • Kort Nozzle
            • We agree on that
              • Kort Nozzle
                • The item Blye asked about is NOT a Kort nozzle
                  • I appreciate your candor which was focused on the issues at hand
                    • FYI How they work
                    • That would require testing
                      • Marine Nozzle Test
  • If you want a slightly used one I have two in my basement
  • Blye -- here's the added info I promised
    • Thanks wasn't really thinking of getting one, very happy with my Smart Tabs
  • Maybe it helps prevent injuries?
    • It would NOT prevent injuries
