Hey Tsubaki,

Did you put the jacking plat on your boat? If you did what kind of performance difference did you achieve?

I was thinking of putting my 200 Yamaha on one want to make sure it is worth it. Will have to rebuild transom first.
Thanks

Bought the jack plate before the motor.
Currently the most use I've gotten out of it was to be able to have the boat up at an angle in order for it to drain when it rains and the motor jacked up and tilted down and not be in the dirt.
Gotta find out soon on the real benifits, I do know when running at idle speed I can draw 5" less water.

Just curious as to what kind of speed you can pick up if you go up with the motor once you are on plane.

On this boat, I have no experiance yet making comparisons.
I do know on my fathers pontoon boat, a 5" difference would increase the speed near 10 mph but in sharp turns, the prop would ventilate.

Thanks, don't think we would see that big of a difference though. I am hioping for a 2-3 kph increase, the big plus is not having the motor trimmed to the max.
