Pics of my jackplates - The Hull Truth

I am very impressed with the quality of these jack plates. I purchased them from R & R Design at a great price. Should have them on within a week.

Then will you guys finally have your race?

Are they manual or hydraulic? I been looking for a jackplate myself. What was the cost?

They are manual. I have one for our small boat from the same company. I went for 2 more inches set back then the ones in the picture. The farther back the higher possibility

Homesite, what exactly are you trying to achieve with the use of the manual jack plates

ken2 · 02-03-2010, 07:58 AM

His outside motors are buried. They need to come up higher.
Thats probably the only quad fountain you'll see with all cowlings the exact same height.
Hopefully he doesn't have waterpressure issues.

The inside and outside engines have different shaft lengths..

Its not the outside motors with the issue its the inside engines. They are 30 inches. They need to come up at least 5 inches.

90 mph is around the corner, I hope

what are the outsides?

I thought you had 25's all the way across instead of the normal configuration of 25 centers and 20 outsides

homesite · 02-03-2010, 08:19 AM

20s outside, 30s inside(xxL)

For every 6 inches your motor is put off the rear of the boat you add 50% more motor weight. Keep this fact in mind.

What a real bitch it's going to be getting all those plates dialed in right.

A Few Dollars · 02-03-2010, 08:29 AM

So the insides should have been 25"

homesite · 02-03-2010, 08:29 AM

The plate is 3 inches

Obvious question here is why was it rigged with the 30" to begin with since it is 5" too low

And from what Ken2 said

homesite · 02-03-2010, 08:38 AM

From my understanding the 25s were not available at the time.

So you figured 30" would be OK?

Hurry up and wait.
