Hydraulic Jackplate questions
Looking to replace the L&S hydraulic jackplate on my Skater. Who makes a nice plate? Does anyone make one that I can use a Merc trim pump with? Thanks...Wil

I like the Atlas Hydraulic Jack Plate by T & H Marine. Very heavy duty but doesn't use a separate pump mounted in the boat.
Stainless Marine and Bob's Machine both use a hydraulic pump mounted in the boat. Both good quality products.

Your local hydraulic supply store can set you up with fittings go from the Mercury pump to probably any jack plate. I use a mercury pump on a CMC. Runs faster than the stock pump.

I called R&R as I have one of there manual plates and they are very well built but they quit making them a few years ago. Also called Stainless Marine, they also quit making theres said they are re designing it and it wont be out til next year. Guess ill check into a Bobs or TH Marine. Thanks for the replies.

They told me they don't make any hydraulic plates anymore, only manual.

R&R does still make the 3" manual plate as I bought one from them last year and its the best quality plate I have ever owned. I like the looks of the CMC but wondered how it would hold up to abuse with the load riding on the 4 big rollers.
