Thread: Setting up jack plate on boat. Need starting place info.

I'm looking for more bow lift without losing my holeshot which is great right now. My prop guy says he can put more cup in my current props if needed. I've ran jackplates on Skeeter Starfire series bass boats in the past and know the basics of how the plate works and adjusts.

Need some starting place info. Thanks.

I'll measure my 22 ft Excel, take you a few photos.
