    Default Motor Height


    Have a 50 Nissan on a 14' tri-hull bass boat. Need to raise OB height, but, already set as high
    as possible and do not want to drill new holes. Are there any plates or almost 0"
    setback jackplates out there that might help? Would try to make my own, but, my skills are in the
    category of "a man's gotta know his limitations". I need to raise about 2-2 1/2".

    Thanks.

    Sounds like you have the wrong length shaft.

    Edited the post - need closer to 2 1/2". 20" shaft on OB - not much I can do there.
    But, it is what it is and of course I am looking for a 'cheap' solution.

    I think T-H marine makes a mini jack plate, not sure on the price. You can buy all kinds of jack plates will just a little set back, 3 inches is probably as small a set back as you can get though
