Re: Jack Plate ?
+1. Any pics? If you're getting blow outs, the motor is probably a bit too high. Be sure that you don't get any blow out when cornering at speed either. Just because the motor runs well in a straight line, doesn't mean it will corner correctly. The good news is that lowering the motor as little as 1/2" can make a big difference. There's lots of tweaking and readjusting that needs to take place once you install a jackplate. Mostly, just lots of trial and error to get everything dialed in just right.
