A hull fairing system for a water craft with a retractable drive mechanism including a vertically disposed deployment well integrated into the hull of the watercraft, a retractable drive mechanism, and a hull fairing matching the lower contour of the hull. The deployment well may incorporate draft to allow for a tight fit with the contour matched hull fairing when the drive mechanism is deployed and a loose fit through the retracted range. Further, the composition of the contour matched hull fairing may be of a suitable compliant material such as elastomeric compounds to provide an improved fit when deployed. The hull fairing itself is vertically constrained to the drive mechanism and travels up and down with it. The hull fairing need not be rotationally constrained and may therefore accommodate steerable lower propulsion units.
