Re: I'm Back in the Water! - Yes new Pictures.
MC, I knew you would ask about the jack plate...
Well even though the bracket was installed at the recommended height, ie. 1" of rise for every 12" of setback, I was not happy with the performance. On waters 3'-5' my prop was cavitating and the bolt pattern on the motor/bracket prevented from lowering the motor. Although I'm still experimenting with a motor height that works best all around, the jack plate gives me the flexibilty of lowering and rising the motor. I intent on making marks on the jack plate for different water condition. Also, due to the lack of weigh in the bow, I'm porpoising a lot when I go out alone. I'm thinking of adding a collapsible water tank in the bow or fish box. Any suggestions?
