INthe late 1980’s, Marine Dynamics, Inc. was founded to satisfy theneed for improved performance of all boats. The StingRay™ HydrofoilStabilizer, designed through advanced computerized engineering,

was the result.

Since that time, the StingRay™ Hydrofoil Stabilizer has become one of thehottest selling marine accessories of all time. In fact, it is currently thenumber one product of choice, worldwide.

Why? Because it works.

The StingRay™ Hydrofoil Stabilizer applies the laws of physics to provide theextra performance every boat needs. It’s aerodynamic design creates a higherwater pressure on the underside of the hydrofoil surface, which creates lift tobring the stern up and force the bow down. No other product improvesperformance so dramatically.

Unlike other so called foils, the StingRay™ keeps on improving performanceonce the boat is up and running. In addition to providing a superior hole shot,the StingRay™ lets the boat cruise at lower speeds, stops porpoising,eliminates chinewalking, stabilizes handling, increases top end speedand improves fuel economy.

For bringing big boat performance to small boats, there’s the StingRay™Junior’s. They are the only performance product specifically designed formotors with 1-1/2 to 75HP.

Adding StingRay Torque Equalizers™ to the XPI product gives you a completeperformance system. Only StingRay™ has it.

Due to the tremendous success of the StingRay,™ other companies have triedto jump on the bandwagon. Several two-piece foils are on the market becausethey are easier, quicker and cheaper to tool. Competing one piece designslack the scientific principles that make StingRay™ work. Because it’s the best,some companies have even tried to copy and “steal” the StingRay™,but U.S. patent laws put a stop to that.

Only StingRay™PerformanceSystems Offer so Much

Performance!

The truth is, only the StingRay™Hydrofoil Stabilizer delivers superiorperformance beyond planing. Other foils are notlogically or scientifically supported. Some are simply flatplates. Others claim to work by not riding in the water. But askyourself, “How can it work if it’s not in the water?” (It can’t).It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Let’s face it, other products which claim to be hydrofoils are nothing butsimple planing aids. Only the StingRay™ is a complete performance system.Once planing is reached, the StingRay™, continues to generate improvedperformance. This booklet explains how. �

SPEED-XP ™

Performance isn’t just about horsepower…it’s about Technology!

StingRay™ Hydrofoil Stabilizersare now made with SPEED-XP™, an extreme performance

hydrophilic material, making theworlds fastest hydrofoil stabilizereven faster!

SPEED-XP™ is a clear hydrophilic(water-absorbing) material that isthermally, bonded to the basepolymer material of the hydrofoil.The surface of this material is hardwhen dry and looks like a new waxjob-however the“magic” of itsperformance isreleased when thesurface becomes wet…SPEED-XP™ acts like a microscopic spongewhen wet and will bind a very thinlayer of water to the surface of thehydrofoil. The result is running wateron water—a dramatic reduction inhydrodynamic drag andimproved performance.

Endorsed by 5-time world championsuper-boat race teams. The fastesthydrofoil stabilizer in the world…0-90 MPH in just 16 seconds! Brokethe 100 mph barrier! (to be exact,top speed in a 20' bass boat, with aMercury 2.5 liter, radar-clocked at107 MPH at the premier lake X,

Florida testing facility!). It still fitsand works on all new boats.Eliminates cavitation & prop blow-out. Eliminates bow rise, porpoisingand bouncing. Significantly improvesplaning time, top speed, handlingand safety.

Unlike simple curved or flat planingaids, the StingRay™ actually createslift. By raising more of the hull outof the water, reduces wetted area,

thereby reducingdrag. Greatlyimproves safety

by allowing bettervisibility to the driver

and passengers. Givestremendous banking and cornering

ability, no uncontrolled sliding orpitch-out.

The #1, hands-down choice ofprofessional racers and boatersworldwide…and for obviousreasons! Gives more high-performance for your money thanhigh-priced specialty props orcomplicated and expensive trim tabs.“You can’t buy more performance-per-dollar than with a StingRay™!”It’s guaranteed to work for you,or your money back…no hassle. �

The StingRay™ Hydrofoil Stabilizeris The Only Product ThatDelivers True Stabilization

Other so-called “foils” (actually only planing aids) may claim

to be a stabilizer, but fail to perform. Some even use the name

stabilizer without understanding what it means.

StingRay™ keeps performing all day. As long as the boat is in the

water and moving, the StingRay™ keeps on working.

The StingRay™ eliminates the need for troublesome trim tabs. Its

patented high-tech shape causes water to flow over its surface,

thus hydrodynamically creating upward thrust pressure on the

underside surface. Scientific principles go to work the moment

the propeller starts turning. Upward pressure lifts the hull,

resulting in less drag since less of the boat is in the water.

StingRay™’s wings then stabilize the water pressure,

keeping the boat stable and safe. By staying in the

water, the StingRay™ keeps on working. �

With a StingRay™ HydrofoilStabilizer, You’re Up On Planein Less Than Half The Time

When it comes to getting aboat out of the hole,nothing else comes close.

Water skiers are amazed at thedifference. They’re up and skiingfaster and easier than ever before.What's more, the smoother wakemakes skiing more enjoyable forbeginners and experts alike.

Professional powerboat racersuse the StingRay™ to help win races.They know a better hole shot helpsthem gain an extra edge rightfrom the start. It’s the choiceof champions.

Fishermen, both professional andweekenders, appreciate theStingRay™ for its quicker planing.Rather than being bogged down,they’re headed for the choice fishingspots. For pros, it can be thedifference between a winner or analso ran. For the pleasure fisherman,it’s the best thing to happen to aboat since the outboard.

Increased safety also comes to usersof the StingRay™. With the bowdown, visibility is increased andcontrol is improved. Some insurancecompanies even offer a discountto StingRay™ equipped boats. �

Eliminates Chinewalking

Bytheir very design, “V”bottom boats are susceptibleto chinewalking. This

dangerous side-to-side rockinglessens control and performance.

Again, the StingRay’s™ wings go towork. The stabilizing action balancesthe boat to keep it upright andmoving forward without a hassle.�

StingRay™ works, while you play.

Porpoising is the name given to the forward and back motion some boats makewhile riding on the water. Picture a porpoise leaping through the water andyou get the idea. It may be fine for them, but its murder on a boat’s

performance, comfort and safety. This pounding causes many people to ride only inthe very back of the boat. After all, who wants to get bounced around all day? �

StingRay™ corrects this action, providing you with morecomfort, safety and performance.

StingRay™Stops a BoatFrom Porpoising

StingRay™Junior’s Give Big BoatPerformance to Small Boats

Small boats with low horsepower motors suffergreatly from lack of performance. For instance,getting out of the hole takes forever. Slow speed

is common. Their light weight causes a myriad weightdistribution problems. Bow rise occurs all too often.

Since small boats act and react differently than theirlarger counterparts, a special performance solutionis required. StingRay™ has it.

The StingRay™ Junior’s are the only performanceproduct specifically made for small boats. Adjustableto fit any size motor from 1-1/2 to 75 HP, theStingRay Junior™ makes small boats perform likenever before. It’s perfect for aluminum boats,Jon boats and inflatables.

The StingRay Junior™ didn’thappen by accident.

Designedthrough

computerizedengineering,

StingRay™ Junior usesscientific principles to improve

small boat performance. Its high-tech shape directs the water over

its surface to create just the right liftfor small boats.

The results are fantastic. Smoother stability.ore control. Superior ride. Improved fuel economy.

And higher speeds. Nothing else works as well. �

All Boats Need a StingRay™

Hydrofoil StabilizerPerformance System(A) Fishing Boats From small fishing boats to highpowered bassin’ machines, StingRay™ lets fishermenget to the fish faster and easier than ever before.

(B) High Performance Boats If you think yourboat has performance now, wait until you slip on aStingRay™. By lifting the stern and bringing the bowdown you’ll discover more performance than youthought possible.

(C) Runabouts Most pleasure boats fall into thiscategory. Get extra power, safety and fuel economy fromthe StingRay Performance System™.

(D) Aluminum boats Whether it’s a large or smallaluminum boat, StingRay™ overcomes the performanceproblems associated with these lightweight boats.

(E) Cruisers StingRay™ improves all aroundperformance with these popular boats. The numberone problem, bow rise, is eliminated along withchinewalking, porpoising and power loss. Workson single or multi-engines.

(F) Inflatable Boats These difficult-to-handle boatsare a breeze to maneuver with a StingRay Junior™.

Bythe very nature of their design, propeller sizes simplisticallycome in small, medium, or large diameters and pitches. Smallpitched props are better for increased low end torque resulting

in good hole-shots and acceleration, but are typically slow in top-endspeed. Larger pitched props are much faster on top-end speed but areslow in acceleration and may not ever get the boat up out of the holeand on plane. Most boats are equipped with a prop pitched somewherein between, not great for hole-shotsand acceleration and not thefastest top-end speed.

The StingRay™ XPI wasdesigned to eliminate theseopposing prop functions. TheXPI eliminates the need for asmall diameter prop byforcing the stearn up and thebow down, getting the boaton plane as much as 50% fasterwith much improved acceleration.All this equates to as much as 30%-40%increases in fuel efficiency. The XPI also eliminatesChinewalking, stops Porpoising and aides in pulling skiers. �

Available in Black, White or Grey, in Senior and Junior models.

T he StingRay™ XPII has all the features and benefits of the XPI PLUSthe addition of our unique proprietary “SPEED-XP™”, an extremeperformance hydrophilic material, makes the worlds fastest

hydrofoil even faster! The new XPII offers the slickest profile and leastamount of drag co-efficient of any hydrofoil stabilizer on the market today.It’s the hands down choice for most fuel-efficient,hottest hole-shot and fastest top speed.

As if the added performanceweren’t enough, Marine Dynamicsgave the XPII additional stylingfeatures like a unique set of carbon-fiber-look wings, brushed stainlesssteel mid-section, bright chromedomed logo and fire-engine redflames! It even looks fastmounted on the lower unit! �

Available in Black, White or Grey carbon fiber look, in Senior models only.

Both the StingRay™ Hydrofoil Stabilizer andStingRay Junior™ are easy to install. All thehardware you need is included: four bolts, four

self-locking nuts and four rubber washers.

Simply drill four (4) quarter-inch holes in the cavitationplate on the lower drive unit & bolt the StingRay™ on.

Pre-drilled holes in the StingRay™ serve as a guide fordrilling the four holes. Placing the StingRay™ on top of the cavitation plate, insertthe bolts from the bottom up. Place the rubber washers on the bottom side anddrop the four (4) self locking nuts in the hex pockets on top of the hydrofoil.Use a Philips screwdriver to tighten the bolts. In a matter of minutes you’reready to enjoy unmatched performance. �

Installation on the XPI and XPIIis Quick and Easy!

The XRIII Has Easy NO-DRILLInstallation (Takes aout 5 minutes)

Locate the torque tab retaining bolt. (Fig. I) Remove the torque tab (alsoknown as a sacrificial anode ) by unscrewing the retaining bolt. (Fig. 2)Slide the XR onto the motor's cav plate as shown. (Fig. 3) Push the XR all

the way forward until the XR bottoms out on your motor post. Place the torquetab into the round cutout in the bottom of the XR (Fig.4) and replace theretaining bolt. If required, install and tighten the Phillips-head bolts on the twofront clamps on the XR (Fig. 5). Place the SpeedCaps™ over the two boltaccess openings, (Fig.6) and you’re done! �

DRAMATICALLY SAVES FUEL... PAY’S FOR ITSELF!

With the new StingRay™XRIII, Marine Dynamicshas achieved a truly

balanced product with a much sleekerand more efficient hydrodynamicprofile, with less drag andmore technicaladvances…while radicallyimproving the looks andgiving it award winningstyling. The XRIII isdesigned with a radicalnew way to attachit, so that NODRILLING OFHOLES is required!The XRIII has aunique “Vice-Lock Mount™”system that allows itto be installed in aboutfive minutes, with only a Phillipsscrewdriver! Without ever drilling asingle hole in your engine!

Similar to the tunnel-prop technologyused in expensive offshore super-boats, the XRIII features a “swoopy”look. The wingtips curve down closerto the prop and are sculpted along the

leading edges to decreaseresistance, keeping the dragco-efficient to a minimum.The XRIII extends outfurther behind the propcapitalizing on its

leverage to controlthe prop’s thrustcone, increasingyour boat’sforward thrust.

The XRIII Senior isdesigned for outboards

and most stern drives from 75 HP upto 300+ HP, and the XRIII Junior ismade for outboards up to 75 HP. �

Both Models are Available in Black, White or Grey carbon fiber look.

Both the terms anti-ventilation plate or anti-cavitation plate are names commonly used todescribe the flat surface or "plate" located just

above the propeller on an outboard or sterndriveengine. The purpose of the plate is to direct waterboth over and thru the propeller when the boat is onplane. If the plate has been damaged, the propellerusually "ventilates" by pulling air in from above,

causing the propeller to loseits "bite" or traction. This results in reduced gas mileage,and both lowered top-end speed and performance.

The new StingRay™ XRIII is designed to slide around andover the cavitation plate, effectively restoring (and improving)the damaged or lost surface area. By design, the XRIII

securely reinforces the remaining plate, by securely sandwiching the top, bottomand sides. It costs less than unsightly welded repairs, and provides truly amazingincreased performance, handling, fuel efficiency and styling. The StingRay™ XRIIIis the only product in the marine industry designed to reduce or eliminate costlyrepairs, while at the same time, actually improving performance." �

The revolutionary StingRay™ XRIII actually harnesses the propeller’s thrust-cone!How? By converting prop-wash that is normally thrown back and above thewaterline (Lost kinetic energy) back into usable thrust. Aside from all the scientificand engineering marvels, boaters can capitalize on tremendous additional fuelsavings (even greater fuel savings than a “standard” hydrofoil adds!) incrediblehole shots, better handeling and more top end performance...it’s the latest state-of-the-art technology designed to improve any outboard or sterndrive boat.WITHOUT DRILLING ANY HOLES IN THE ENGINE! �

“StingRay...America’s First Familyof Hydrofoil Stabilizers.”

All boats react to propellerrotation causing a dangerous

pull to one direction or the other.Fighting it can be very tiring tothe boat’s driver.

StingRay™ provides the solutionwith Torque Equalizers.

StingRay™ Torque Equalizers,when placed on a StingRay™ XPIHydrofoil Stabilizer or StingRayXPI Junior™, will reduce orcompletely eliminate dangeroussteering torque on all boats.

With a StingRay™ XPI HydrofoilStabilizer and Torque Equalizers,boats track straight, are easier tocontrol, safer to handle, and thedriver’s arm won’t tire out aftera day on the water.

By adjusting in 10 degreeincrements on the underside of thewings, Torque Equalizers providesuperior leverage over auxiliarywedges or center mountedsacrificial anode torque tabs.By comparison, other solutionsjust don’t seem to work.

After one ride, you’ll know whyTorque Equalizers are the premiersolution for correcting steeringtorque.
