I have a 2072 war eagle and I am putting a 200 four stoke Yamaha and I was wondering which jack plate would work the best for me. Questions I have is do I need a hydraulic jackknife plate or can I get by with Manuel and I was wondering how much set back will I need any maybe let me know we're I can get a good price on one and if one brand is better than the other

Hope your dealer has great insurance putting a larger outboard on your boat that it is rated for. War Eagle hasn't had a commercial rated hull for 10 years. Those hulls aren't really performance hulls, although quicker than the other aluminum hulls of it's size a jackplate will do very little for a speed increase.Quote:
