Location: WV | I recently bought a used boat that has this hydrofoil on it and the troller fin was crack and I lost it today. Can anyone tell me who makes this model? It is on a 2004 Mercury 50hp.
Thanks!!

I believe cabela's used to make that... it is called a Hydro-Troll.
I don't believe they carry it anymore...

Location: Detroit River | Yep, looks like the Cabela's Hydro-Troll, which they appear not to sell anymore. The reviews on it sucked so it's probably not worth replacing.

Location: Ames, Iowa | It looks like a doel-fin, a device that helps your boat get to plane sooner. It will take a mph or 2 away from the boat, but generally improves ride. I have nuaticus (?) trim tabs on the back of my boat. I like em. |
