[Skools Out]

a hydraulic jackplate mounted to the bracket then the motor plus it gives you a way to get into shallower water by raising the whole motor. I've seen them on several offshore and several skiffs at the coast so they can get into shallow water. and yes they were on brackets all of them i've seen it worked great and i like the idea. i'm going to do it on my skiff even though i don't even need a jack plate but that way i can get in super shallow water.
