Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil 2-Piece Boat Stabilizer, 4-350 HP, Black

The Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil is a 2-piece hydrofoil stabilizer built to fit an unusually wide span of outboard sizes, from engines as small as 4 HP up through 350 HP. That range makes it a fit for inflatables, small tenders, and jon boats running compact outboards, while still delivering real benefit on larger engines. Once installed, the AIRO gets the boat on plane faster, keeps it planing at lower speeds, and improves holeshot acceleration. The downturned wing design packs water around the propeller, which reduces chinewalking, porpoising, cavitation, and ventilation while boosting stabilization and driver visibility at low speed.

The AIRO ships as two separate wings rather than a single molded unit. The right wing carries the Stingray AIRO logo on its top surface, while the left wing is blank on top, so the two are easy to tell apart during installation. Mounting is a 4-drill installation on the cavitation plate, and the hydrofoil is rated Lift Level 1 (Average) for balanced, all-purpose lift rather than an aggressive high-lift setup. Installation calls for an electric drill and a Phillips head screwdriver. Finished in black, the AIRO is an economical way to add hydrofoil performance and safety benefits to a boat without paying for features built around a single, narrow HP window.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engine sizes does the Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil fit? The Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil (AIRO-1) fits engines from as small as 4 HP up to 350 HP, which covers everything from inflatable and jon boat outboards to larger engines on runabouts.

Is the AIRO Hydrofoil one piece or two? It is a 2-piece hydrofoil, with a separate left and right wing rather than a single molded unit.

How can I tell the left wing from the right wing during installation? The right hydrofoil wing has the Stingray AIRO logo on its top surface, while the left wing is blank on top, so the two pieces are easy to distinguish before mounting.

How is the Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil installed? Installation is a 4-drill mounting to the cavitation plate, and you will need an electric drill and a Phillips head screwdriver to complete the job.

What lift level does the AIRO-1 provide? The AIRO-1 is rated Lift Level 1 (Average), giving balanced, all-purpose lift rather than a maximum-lift, high-performance setup.

What color does the AIRO Hydrofoil come in? The Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil is finished in black.

Will the AIRO Hydrofoil help with porpoising or chinewalking? Yes, the AIRO-1 is designed to reduce chinewalking, porpoising, cavitation, and ventilation while stabilizing the boat.

How much does the Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil weigh? The Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil (AIRO-1) weighs 1.75 pounds.

What are the dimensions of the AIRO-1 hydrofoil? The AIRO-1 measures 11.89 x 7.2 x 1.85 inches.

How is the AIRO Hydrofoil different from the Stingray XR4? The AIRO-1 covers a much wider HP range (4-350 HP) with a 4-drill installation and Average lift, while the Stingray XR4 targets 40-300 HP engines, uses a simpler 2-drill installation, and provides Level 3 (Maximum) lift.

Is the AIRO Hydrofoil suitable for small inflatable boats? Yes, the Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil's 4 HP minimum rating makes it suitable for inflatables, smaller tenders, and jon boats running small outboards.

What tools do I need to install the AIRO-1 hydrofoil? You need an electric drill and a Phillips head screwdriver to install the Stingray AIRO Hydrofoil's 4-drill mounting.
