Re: jackplate question

A lot depends on hull design and what you are trying to correct or accomplish. What hull do you have? What motor do you have?

Re: jackplate question

It will set back approx. 5/6 inches back of the transom.
You need to know if your steering and shift cables will be long enough.

I would suggest one of the hydraulic plates with 4" setback. You can always add spacers if you need more.
