Over the last 9 months i have had a hydrofoil fitted to my outboard. I originally fitted it becuase when the boat was loaded up it would fall off the plane at about half throttle, and would occasionally bounce if loaded to much at the stern.

The foil has fixed these problems but, when going diagonal to the weather, the tiller gets heavy and tries to pull out of your hand.  Not unholdable heavy but enough to be a pain in the arse when your an hour or more away from the ramp.

What experinces do you guys have with the hydrofoils? Does your tiller do the same thing? I want to hear it 

Cheers,
