5 Jack Plate Facts You Should Know

[@evilnemesis3459]

Finally someone that mentioned small boat owners I can't afford a 35 k bass boat

[@SuperTinyTurtle]

....then you don't need a jack plate

[@finmanpoozie4756]

What's missing in this? ... .Lund aluminums come with motors bolted to the transom. The hull is already tuned for that mount. What's the extra torque on that type of transom when the motor is moved out 4", 8" etc. then? Warranties are automatically void then also. It used to be "if the hull is not designed for a jack plate, adding 1 is detrimental" but I never saw how though

Awesome video! I have a manual on mine but my next rig will have a hydraulic! I have always woundered exactly why we buy these things lol. I’m like you, I just like to fish and want my boat to perform so hydraulic in my future. Nice video!

[@richardjohnson6695]

Back in the day before hydraulic steering we had cable steering. Jack plates allowed you to find the sweet spot of neutral steering and this is how I used to set my hydraulic jack back in the day.

[@vinsonjames5223]

Would a 6” manual or hydraulic make a difference in performance on an 18’-10” boat? I’m wanting one, but I would like to know what kind of performance I should expect. Thanks in advance!

[@CarterBuilds]

that plate had a huge crack at 0:50

[@atomatom7355]

no it did not have a crack... Its a Two piece system... fast forward to 2:10 in the video.. You will see its a two piece system that is bolted together.. what you see is the seam.

[@StevenSucksCock]

As atom mentioned, all of the Atlas jack plates 10” and above are two piece construction.

Just bought a xpress h18 bass with a 6 inch jack plate, one of yours actually. I was really surprised at how much of the motor is in the water with it tilted all the way down for a hole shot. It looks like the seal for the cowling is in the water. My dealer says that is how it is supposed to be set up. Is this true? Thanks for the video

[@darthjar9117]

Here’s a stupid question, can you install an electric trim and tilt on an electric Jack plate?

[@alwaysbroke1976]

One thing I'd really like to know, I have a tracker pro team 195 tournament edition and have been thinking about adding a 6 inch backplate but would like to know what kind of added stress it puts on the transom? I've been told I can't add a backplate to my boat.

[@wyldbill100]

Would've "liked" you to have given a brief overview of the main jack plate components that T-H MARINE incorporates in their units. The self-lubricating "risers" in your hydraulic jack plates are a HUGE selling point for me, personally, and some mention of the various models, i.e.: "Standard, Heavy Duty, etc." Other than that? Enjoyed your video.

[@notyaboymatty5907]

Do yall sell these in Australia these would be great up our salt and fresh water rivers where all the big barra and crocs live but are often super shallow and fall of lots of underwater structure like fallen trees and snags and if your motors to low witch it often is even trimmed up you aint getting down that river

[@PlugNuster]

It sure would be nice if you guys at T-H Marine would produce a "quality" Relay Harness, like the quality you put into your Jack Plates. The relay harness on these JP's burnout WAY too often. Other than that, I love my Atlas Hydraulic Jack Plate. Peace, be safe, tight lines.

[@marklortie4681]

Good info thanks

[@robertherbert1306]

Will a jack plate help control porpoising on a 17 foot John boat?

[@bouncingbetty3045]

May be a stupid question, but could I use this to convert my stern drive to an outboard?

[@Thurmanjohnson-v4r]

i have an xpress H24b with a 250sho yamaha i have an 8" manual. i would like a 14" hydraulic what could i expect in gains?

[@LexiWebb-d8c]

That was very interesting piece of information

[@SuperTinyTurtle]

This was a very boring comment

[@GregorsOutdoors]

I was told you can break your steering arm with the jack plate. I'm not sure how you could do that, but I am a prime candidate for making it happen if it can happen. Any insight on this?

[@SuperTinyTurtle]

Jill plates are much safer. Use one of those instead.

[@StevenBarshinger]

In what position should the jack plate be while towing? At 3 inches or 5" or all the way down?

[@THMarineSupplies]

As low as possible is best practice!

[@christraxler2999]

I have a 2015 nitro z7 with a merc 175hp on it and Im looking for recommendations on what Jack plate you'd recommend or if I should just go to my dealer?

[@davessparetime83]

How is a jackplate going to help you get up on plane in shallow water if the prop is bowing out. First off set backs make your boat take off weird. You are better off getting as close to the boat transom as you can. 4" setback. Use a hydrofoil on the lower unit or trim tabs on the transom. You want a straight back rooster tail, not an up in the air rooster tail.

[@timhigdonoutdoors5276]

I love my TH marine 10 inch jack plate on my 2022 nitro

[@jongarcia1680]

I just had a jack plate put on and it sprays out one side so if a boat comes beside me they get sprayed why is that

[@marklortie4681]

Motor is 2 low the further you go out the higher you must go the water goes up as it comes off the back of the boat.

[@malcolmzoll7613]

I got a 6” hydraulic jack, plate with a 115 etech 17 Stratos I only gained 1 mile an hour I’m I doing something wrong 137/8x 17 prop

[@JeffStrouse-lg6du]

Very poor customer support. My main plate broke and no one would get back to me! Glad I wasn't running top speed!

[@jwschroeder804]

My Ranger FS620. 8” Atlas hydraulic Jack plate = 1 to 2 mph top end at the most.

[@uae5.06]

Not much 😅

[@riazwalji3417]

That yellow cable about to be crushed

[@BigMilkTank]

wont matter when your relays go bad every 6 months to a year.

[@everybodysucks6509]

Oh snap!

[@captlucky2320]

Th makes a great product but lets be honest the bobs are the best on the market

[@thekevinjmiller]

He's right about what jackplates do; he's wrong about Atlas and T-H Marine. It's a piece of junk. Try Bob's Machine Shop.

[@locker1325]

Wow. That's a heavenly price. I hope he didn't get this one for free for stumping for them. That would suck, as well as render your review moot.
