FAQ

A jack plate is an adjustable mounting bracket that allows you to raise or lower your outboard motor. This adjustment enhances performance by optimizing the motor's position relative to the waterline, improving fuel efficiency, speed, and handling.

An on-the-fly jack plate enables real-time adjustments to your outboard motor's height while underway. This feature allows for quick responses to changing water conditions, enhancing control, stability, and adaptability during your boating activities.

While jack plates can be installed on many boats to improve performance, it's essential to verify compatibility with your specific vessel, such as a jon boat. Consulting with a professional or referring to manufacturer guidelines ensures that a jack plate is a suitable and beneficial addition to your boat.

Selecting the appropriate size jack plate depends on your boat's length and intended use. For example:

  • Boats under 18 feet: A 4-inch jack plate is recommended.
  • Boats just under 20 feet: An 8-inch jack plate is suitable.
  • Boats 20 feet and longer: A 10-inch jack plate is advisable.

These recommendations can vary based on specific boat models and usage, so it's best to consult with experts or refer to manufacturer guidelines when selecting a jack plate. ​

Modifying your boat by installing a jack plate may impact the manufacturer's warranty, depending on the terms and conditions. It's crucial to review your warranty details and consult with the manufacturer or dealer to understand any potential effects before making modifications.
