    Question Ordered 12" Jackplate


    Going to set my motor back so I can install the 997c I just bought on my pontoon boat. Any suggestions about adjusting it to the proper height would be appreciated. I ordered a manual adjust because the hydraulic was way out of site right now with all it will take to set things up just to use the 997c.
    I'm thinking that I need to keep the motor on the same height as it is now just setting it back 12". Am I correct on this thought? Help me out if you can. Ferdi aka Fred

    I would start about 3" up. You want your motor not to low and not to high. Check this site out.
