Stingray Hydrofoils & Trolling Plates

Stingray Hydrofoils & Trolling Plates: Proven Performance Since 1987

When it comes to hydrofoils and trolling plates, few names carry the legacy and engineering depth of StingRay Hydrofoils. Marine Dynamics, Inc. — the company behind the StingRay brand — was founded in 1987, launching with the original black “StingRay Hydrofoil Stabilizer,” known today as their Classic model. Nearly four decades later, that same commitment to on-water performance has expanded into a full lineup of hydrofoils engineered for virtually every outboard and sterndrive application imaginable.

A Lineup Built for Every Boat and Engine

StingRay Hydrofoils cover all boating applications and price points, with a model for every outboard and sterndrive engine — designed to eliminate chinewalking, porpoising, cavitation, and ventilation while stabilizing the boat, saving fuel, and getting on plane in less than half the normal time. Models are available for outboards ranging from 9.9 HP to 300 HP.

• Classic & Classic Pro Series: The heritage models that started it all — refined over decades for reliable lift and stability on a wide range of hulls and engine combinations.
• StarFire Series: The StarFire Hydrofoil is designed to enhance stabilization while on plane through extending its wing tips, making it a go-to choice for boaters who prioritize top-end stability and a swept-back aesthetic.
• XRIII Series: A performance-focused model popular among bass fishermen and tournament anglers who demand explosive hole shots and consistent speed performance.
• HyperFoil 500: The HyperFoil 500 helps keep the stern lifted and bow down so boaters can get on plane shallow and run shallow, making it a standout option for anglers navigating skinny water.
• AIRO Series: The AIRO is a versatile 2-piece hydrofoil capable of fitting engine sizes as small as 4 HP found on inflatables, smaller tenders, and jon boats, while still benefiting larger engines up to 350 HP.
• Stinger: The Stinger provides significant lift to smaller boats and engine setups while also giving larger boats improved holeshots and maximum top-end speed.

Patented Installation Technology

One of StingRay’s most practical differentiators is how they’ve tackled the installation challenge. Beyond the traditional 4-bolt method, StingRay offers two patented alternatives: a 2-bolt installation method requiring only 2 drilled holes in the engine’s cavitation plate, and a No-Drill installation method requiring zero drilled holes in the cavitation plate. All No-Drill StingRay Hydrofoils have the patented No-Drill Technology designed directly into the hydrofoil and do not need any type of adapter or additional pieces. This makes StingRay an especially attractive option for boaters who are hesitant to modify their engine’s anti-cavitation plate.

Real-World Performance Gains

Benefits of installing a StingRay Hydrofoil include getting on plane faster, saving fuel, stabilizing your boat, and reducing cavitation and ventilation. Anglers, weekend cruisers, and competitive tournament boaters alike have reported dramatic improvements in holeshot response, smoother rides through chop, and more predictable handling at both high and low speeds. StingRay Hydrofoils are proudly manufactured in the USA and distributed globally to partners in over 30 countries, a testament to the brand’s broad appeal and trustworthy build quality.
