NOSE CONES: HYDRO-CONE
The High Tech Connection


We are discontinueing manufacture of all low water pick-up nose cone kits. We will continue to sell the HC-UNV-WP universal kits as well as the HC-SZ6-WP  Suzuki low water pick-up kits until further notice. The outboard motor manufacturers are now furnishing built in low water pick-up cones on all larger performance motors, and as a result the demand for after market low pick-up cones has fallen off dramatically. It is no longer economically practical to continue building low pick-ups for outboards.

Features & Benefits

  • High aspect ratio eliminates blow out and propeller burn at the highest possible speed.
  • Parabolic design counters adds tail lift from the increase in surface area and greatly enhances boat altitude.
  • Crescent design provides much better steering control & prop bite all the way out to the tip of the prop blade.
  • No effect upon drag co-efficient on lower gear case mounted with the prop shaft fully submerged or with the prop shaft even with the boat bottom.
  • 75% more cooling capacity on the low water pick-up models than with competitive units.
  • Easy installation and alignment. High quality, thin wall design to hug gear case.
  • Economically priced, lightweight design, high grade cast aluminum.
  • 4 custom engineered units to choose from.
