Abstract
A system and method involving hydro-lifters for achieving attitude and control of a watercraft including at least one elongate planar surface, at least one actuator mounted to the hull of the watercraft and pivotally connected to a planar surface. The system using at least one containment shelf-bracket fastened to the underside of the hull forming a non-fixed containment area, between an upper surface of the containment shelf-bracket and the hull, to capture the planar surface and provide a support surface on which the planar surface may rest and allowing forward, aft, and vertical slidability of the planar surface. A method for calculating optimal surface area of the planar surfaces for fuel efficiency by obtaining the measurements of an overall length of the hull and maximum beam of the hull, multiplying the measurement, multiplying the value by 1-3%, and dividing the resulting number by the quantity of planar surfaces.
