TEAM TALK: JACKPLATE MAINTENANCE (TECH TIP)

[@brians.4488]

Never get tired of the raw honesty in your videos. Keep it up!!

[@c.shoefish]

Think we need some new blast from the past videos! The under/over are awesome as well, but let's be real, MOST ppl can't afford to even think about the new boats. Great video man.

[@kevincrawford6936]

I'll have to say Andy, this is probably my favorite video you've done(and i watch them all). Showing maintenance issues and how to fix it helps tremendously for us do-it-yourselfers! Owning a boat is very expensive and again, it helps tremendously. Thank you for your compassion and love for the youth and military also. Hope you and your family have a safe and wonderful Chistmas and a Happy New Year!!! ❤😊

[@caddyjoe77]

Thanks Andy and crew. More like this please. I know you said you dont have all the torque specs, but maybe a quick reference if you have the books plus experience handy? Heck we can make a pdf and put it on your site or something. Another idea is: Maybe a trailer maintenance checklist?

[@salpinto4474]

Well after watching your message here. I checked the four bolts attaching the motor to the jack plate on my 20xp with 36 hrs. It is amazing how loose those bolts were!! Scary!

[@jeffporter100]

I do check these but not very often. Thanks! Will do it now!

[@bryananderson9956]

Man its funny here in TX how little people work on there own boats, I love turning wrenches on my F250, my merc and what ever else comes undone!!! Iv learned a lot from you guys !!

[@TheAmericanAngling]

We've had GREAT luck with Nordlock washers for bolts like this.

[@MichaelBrown-mi5jl]

Thank you for this video.. i watch all of them but maintenance is so important and i appreciate it.. I'll definitely be checking my bolts before heading to the river.

[@vancegordon9140]

Great Info-Really liked it. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@johnnysaechao6218]

Merry Christmas and happy new year team marine!

[@jaydoman7540]

Wishing you ANDY & THE ENTIRE TEAM MARINE CREW A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & SAFE, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!! SPEED, MONEY, NO BRAKES!!!!

[@waynewalters5813]

Thanks Andy awesome info!

[@acme9538]

Good stuff. Checked mine earlier this season and they were loose. Great reminder !

[@bamadondon0495]

I always tell my old lady the same thing, make sure to maintain the middle too, not just the inner and the outer 😂😂😂.. y'all be careful and have a good Xmas 💪✌️👊

[@Riebs789]

Have you done a video on aftermarket cavitation plates? Pros/cons?

[@chrishampton8842]

Thanks Andy and crew, Merry Christmas to all

[@zacklee3899]

I like all the videos you guys but I really love the technical videos

[@robbaize4193]

Thanks, leash installed last week. Didn’t check jack plate I will this weekend.

[@roncunning3117]

Andy, Merry Christmas to you, your family and all of Team Marine!!!

[@mikerice8185]

Awesome video Andy!

[@tp2273]

Andy, could you go a bit more in-depth on the manual? I have a slidemaster, and the view you gave of the outside only didn't show what I needed. Should the center bolt be always tight?

[@mikekennedy9075]

Great video. I hope you and everyone in the shop has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@Big.Nick.Thompson]

wow what a great video well needed in the industry.. good job boys

[@HammerDog600]

Great video, you have a wealth of knowledge. Good on your for sharing it.

[@tundrabasser]

Good video man. I have a bit of ocd and have already done all this but a lot of guys dont think of this.

[@bryananderson9956]

I need a nice suzki sweater like that !!!!

[@JimmyBrown-u7x]

Hey Team Marine Good Morning. I was watching one of your Atlas Jack Plate Maintenance video. I was pretty sure you said other than cleaning & lubing the slides, inspecting all the mounting hardware, an Atlas Jack Plate requires zero maintenance. I have an Atlas Micro Jacker, same with mine? Please guide me. Thank you kindly. Jimmy B.

[@sha6mm]

Andy why does no one install a Jack Plate on Tin Walleye Boats ? I am looking at a a 18ft with a 115=150hp motor and I never see one with a Jack plate on one for sale new. Is the performance gain not worth the cost. Great Information Andy.

[@Grudzien34]

Great video, we need more info like this, thanks.

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Like checking the air in your car tires or engine oil 🍺🎣

[@Bowhunter4life]

Thanks Andy for the great video . Team marine channel ROCKS! My boat is basically new 26 hours on my Suzuki . At what intervals hour wise would you recommend checking bolts for tightness ? I’m a maintenance freak . Love the channel . Merry Christmas all .

[@jones1394]

Hello, Sir, I would like to ask you. On a manual jack plate do have to use the bar on the jack plate to tighten the bolts or can you just use a shorter bolt and go bolt to nut without a bar?

[@kylevodden19]

Great video I will check mine out what are the torque specs for atlas to Yamaha sho

[@gustavomaciel787]

Also what is a good prop. I want a good setup for my grandson high-school tournament

[@o2man98]

What is the best way to realigned the grease zerks on a Detwiler when they twist away from the access holes to grease? I am able to work on stuff.

[@berniestewart1738]

Some basic PM stuff goes a long way. I have a 2005 Tahoe with over a quarter million miles.

[@gustavomaciel787]

Good morning. What is a good backplate for a Champion 181 DC Merc 150 xr6. I have Detwillee 8"

[@BrianB_fishing]

Maintenance helps maintain speed and save money; you still have no brakes. ;-)

[@tomcece3325]

What are the torque specs for the bolts

[@michaelstake7440]

Where’s the video of the new ranger being cut in half to show how bad it’s being made.

[@chrismulch9659]

Did they make one ?

[@codyhooser3333]

Let's Go Andy an Jordan

[@GeraldPetersen-xn9hx]

Ever thing of slowing down. Your putting a drag motor on a vw in a public place, not a race track.

[@TeamMarineService]

Jason’s ears perked up when you said drag motor in a vw

[@blaineschwarzel2440]

That’s why 6 bolts are better than 4..On the engine and the boat. More is better

[@russellparker9231]

Andy, love your videos but I find the "taking the Lords name in vein" offensive, even more so when you use it in conjunction Christmas.

[@marctrottier8232]

you all don't need a leash if you buy a good product to begin with like suzuki or yamaha !!!!!!!!!!!!! lol mercs suck as usual !!!! happy x-mas andy to you and your family !
