NEW JON BOAT JACK PLATE 🤔🤔🤔”Vance Manufacturing "

[@craigkellam1580]

Ordered a jackplate from Vance in Tenn. last year. Amazing craftmanship and great price. Bolted right up to my 80 HP yamaha and 17 foot G3

Glad to see all the boat videos lately. thanks

[@alvarsdzenis4739]

the cavitation plate (just above the prop) is supposed to be level with the bottom of the boat for ideal operation. too high or too low causes cavitation and reduced propulsion. take a cordless drill with you to move the jacking plate up and down, to fine tune it while moving. cheers

[@ralphcantrell3214]

IDid you ever test it? I sure would like to know how it performed. I have a very similar boat and am researching my options for raising the engine. This jack is on my short list.

[@HollisFarmsMS]

Did good

[@kriswood2382]

Man you always find products that work . That's an awesome alternative to taking the boat to someone that can weld aluminum. 👍👍

[@HollisFarmsMS]

Thanks

[@ralphcantrell3214]

I got one just like it. It worked great on my AlumaCraft 1232 jon boat. I mounted it 1/4 inch below the transom, {this just looked right to me), and at maximum height it puts the anti-cavitation plate on my new Suzuki DF6A outboard dead even with the bottom of the boat.

[@ralphcantrell3214]

I'm considering one of these too. Thanks for the video. By the way, if you've never tried one, I really like the improvements in initial thrust and handling I get with a hydrofoil on the foot of an outboard. Though the top speed might suffer a tiny bit, everything else is greatly improved. Cheers!

Pretty cool little install! Thanks for sharing your day! Be safe

[@HollisFarmsMS]

[@kieberg]

Just be careful that the water pick up stays deep enough to get water to the pump when you are running. Looks like you may be a little high, just be careful not to burn the motor up.

[@marchill3507]

I was always told your fin on the foot should be level with the bottom of the boat

[@HollisFarmsMS]

[@MichaelSmith-fv5uo]

When on plane (run wide open) the water intakes need to be water ( they are the holes on the side of the foot in front of prop just above the shaft they on the side )

That's frigging awesome! Great video Jason 👍.

Nice jack plate.....serves your purpose too! Excellent......

[@HollisFarmsMS]

[@uhoh71]

Is that not a 16" transoms and short shaft motor? The cavitation plate needs to be close to the bottom of the bottom edge of the boat. You will have some forgiveness but not much. You go too high and when you turn it will spin out. Prop will also slip out when trying to get on plane. However, when you find the sweet spot you will gain a mph or two. It ain't going to help you much in shallow water going slow as much is it will on plane. A true hydraulic or electric jack plate allows you to raise the motor once on plane allowing you to maximize the engines performance to the boat and reducing drag on the foot.

Great video Jason 👍👍👍. That’s pretty cool. I’ve never seen that before. I’m not a boat person either lol. Thanks

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Good Morning Jason, a great job on the boat. Nice video and i love your channel.

[@HollisFarmsMS]

Thanks

[@Lees920]

Wouldn't it have been better to use 5200 on the bolts, and not silicone? It would keep water from penetrating into the wood in the transom much better. Those bass boats you saw jacking the plate up and getting a holeshot also had low water pickups on their lower units to prevent the motor from losing water pressure and burning the powerhead up.

Where did you purchase your jack plate from?

[@HollisFarmsMS]

Ordered online

[@music2178]

Can you make adjustments lower? I know you can raise the height but I’m curious if it will go lower. Without unbolting the plate. Thanks for any tips!

[@HollisFarmsMS]

Yep

[@MichaelSmith-fv5uo]

Pete's being bad boy did put in a time out lol

Hollis Farms you should open up a boat repair shop. You’re getting good at this boat stuff

[@barryedmunds4179]

Put you on a pair of shorts and some flip-flops go to the river find you a nice sandbar and adjusted and do you get where you like it like I hurt somebody else, just make sure you draw enough water to cool the engine correctly what the heck the note Evinrude shut the door the other day make a no more motors selling no more motors it’s hard to believe have a good day Jason
