Homemade jack plate for outboard motor DIY adjustable jack plate

[@philldownes8685]

you built it yourself, saved a ton of money and got exactly what you need.. very nicely made and plenty strong enough for your motor.. nice clear video too....

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Thank you sir

[@Sam-ck8oz]

Dude I love when you said out of necessity that's when we start making things happen good job man

[@luismontoya6226]

Nice job

[@r.d.locklear6173]

Dude,awesome job! I'm a fabricator as well and just finished my jon boat and trailer build. Saw this video and I'm glad I did. I've got a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton outboard and it's not enough anymore so it's time for a bigger motor and this jack plate will work just fine!

Thank the LORD, I watched this to the End. ……. Was going make this bracket for my 115hp

The best diy *professional quality * one on KZbin. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@cledusjohnson7644]

peter yeung hey thanks 👍🏻

[@ranselwildes4496]

Cledus would you make and sell these?

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Ransel Wildes I really wish I could. I just made this out of necessity. I’ve already got too many irons in the fire

[@markf6743]

Thanks for making this video! I’m actually in the exact same position you were. Question: does the motor ever slide down the slots due to bouncing, etc?my concern is it’s riding on the clamping friction.

[@matthewmonahan6398]

Super helpful, and inspiring. I'm going to try one. Thanks!

[@sgrasmick82]

Awesome video! I see both pieces are 12” tall. Do you have bolt hole on the angle and slot hole heights and placement numbers. Curious how long the slots are and where they start and stop on your motor plate. Thanks!

[@fishingismydrug1]

I know this is old, for a 9.8hp, would 1/8” angle be strong enough?

[@alexmoore5771]

I have a short shaft motor with a 20.5 inch transom I need to drop the motor. How would one do that and still be able to steer/shift the motor

[@tonykirby4809]

Best home made jack plate

[@deborahcarruthers9116]

How long is the aluminum ? got a pic of it on the boat ?

[@randygarcia7577]

Just a question but what would your price be if you made and sold them

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Randy Garcia I don’t know that’s a good question I guess I never really thought about it. If you were going to try and build and sell I’d think anywhere from $100-$175

[@hectorfranco7400]

Great job man

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Thanks!

[@jimmiller4951]

Nice job man.

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Jim Miller thanks... nothin too fancy but it works

[@ed2335]

If i only need to raise up motor 1 inch.. Couldn't I just bolt 1 inch square piece of aluminum(6 inches long) to top of transom? Ty

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Kirk W absolutely.. I’d say as long as your motor clamps still get a good bite on transom your good

[@ed2335]

@@cledusjohnson7644 ok.. Wasnt sure. They will. Ty

[@tarikarobyo440]

Can i find a plans of your jackplate

[@philldownes8685]

what is the total weight of your nice jack plate ?

[@chadbosko8935]

I wish u would have shown how it attached onto your boat, have no idea

[@mattwhalen892]

Can you post a video of how it looks with the motor on it on your boat?

[@cledusjohnson7644]

Matt I wish I could I had ever intention of doing so but unfortunately I lost my jon boat to a fire shortly after this video

[@justinshearn8294]

How much would u make one for me

[@cledusjohnson7644]

I wish I was set up to make and sell them but that’s a little out of my reach at the moment sorry
