Jack Plate - Page 3

I fish on a 24' Pro Line flat back boat (1976). This boat runs real skinny for a 24' and with the jack plate, we've been in some really shallow stuff. I just repowered my 86 V20 and I kick myself for not installing one. If you fish in shallow water, the next thing you'll want is a power pole.

Question for anyone running with a jackplate. I had a 4" setback installed with a 5"vertical lift, but the mechanic stated that the 25" is sitting too low and water is shooting straight up and hitting the steering bracket at the front of the motor. Does anyone using one of these have water spray in the front of the motor?

I'm considering this. http://www.cook-mfg.com/plfeatures.html I've purchased two of their products, the extreme thickness in parts is almost insane.

The plate is a T&H Marine Fixed Plate (4" Setback, 3" lift, plus 2.5"lift with alternate mounting holes). They mounted it in the highest holes. I am a little bummed that I had to order a CMC model 40012 which has up to a 6.5" lift and is manually adjustable. It cost me $140 plus $120 expedited shipping (yikes), to get it there by Wednesday when they are available to work on it. Unfortunately the work is being done at the boat yard on Cape Cod 75 miles from where I live, so it is sight unseen. I will be traveling there Friday and will dope slap the guy if he had mounted it wrong and cost me more cake. I hope this new one will do it.
