ABSTRACT:
A pair of pivotally attached fins depend into the water below the hull of the boat. When turning maneuvers are executed the tendency of the boat to skid sideward is resisted by the downwardly engaged fin panels. The device provides improved steering control to all boats so equipped, but especially to outboard jet powered boats traveling in shallow water. When underwater objects or the bottom of a body of water are encountered, the leading edge of the fins strike the object(s), causing the fins to pivot upward to clear the obstacle(s) and then return automatically to the water to provide an extra measure of boating safety.
