Installing jackplate.

[bigboy]

Hey, i've got a new transom so no more holes in it. I just want to install my jackplate. It's a bobs plate that exists out two parts. But now i wonder how far out of each other i have to install them. I would like to have a standard measurement that it's possible to install a newer jackplate without the need to drill again a few more holes in it. So i would just like to know how width i have to install them. And maybe the height? I Have to install the motor high upon the jackplate because off hydraulic steering. But i dont want to have the motor too high. That i cant go lower if necessary...

okey, i'll check if i install them on this dimensions or it is equal with mij jackplate. I hope so. I think it will! thx

Can somebody help me how much cm 6-7/16" and 4-15/16" is? I cant figure out how much this is. I'm not used to work with inches.

Oke problem is solved. Maybe useful for other people its 16.35cm and 12.54cm!

Bigboy, a local dealer can lend you a drill fixture to locate the holes (if you ask nicely). You will get far better results than with a manual layout.:)
