Who makes the best jack plate?

[Roddles]

Im going to purchase a jack plate but I need to kno who makes the best one .Please give me your opinion fellas.Its for a race boat mono hull

[Ted Stryker]

Some of the good ones are Hydro Dynamics, Bob's Machine, Dettweiler, Allison... Something to consider would be whether or not you would want a manual or hydraulic... Some of the other guys will chime in with no fail options...

[vonnie]

I had a Land and Sea hydraulic jack for the past ten years and it has been fabulous with just minor maintaince, it was also a fast response up/down as well.I just got a T-H Marine jack on my new Hydrostream and it looks good but is somewhat slow and has a very poor jack gauge sender which has already broken after only three weeks of use and can't be repaired (it is too poorly designed as is).

[Rickracer]

A lot depends on what makes a jackplate ideal for you. Tell us more about your boat. Most of the best can be found right here: http://rickracers.com/index.php?cPath=50&osCsid=e912a0631f24bfe70a74034d5c1bd4d6 , best prices too. Let us know if we can help. :cool:

[beer30]

I got a 6" Hydraulic Jackplate. Has worked great for almost 4 years, not a minute of problems. Also got a cool LED readout gauge that you can get to work with the plate. Chuck.:)

[Scream And Fly]

Our personal favorite here is the Stainless Marine Gorilla plate. It's bulletproof, but does weigh more than most others.

[CDave]

I'm happy with my Rapid Jack.

[Massbasser]

How much more does the Stainless Marine Gorilla Plate weigh than a Detwiler? Say comparing the 7" SS to the 8" Det? Does anyone know?

[STV_Keith]

My 6" Detweiler "all in one" plate (has the trim pump in the plate, not in the boat) was 57#.

[pmgoffjr]

We rig kazzions of hydraulic plates on tunnel bay boats here.

The most trouble free by far are the Bobs, with R&R close behind. CMC and Detwieler aren't worth throwing dirt on.

[deadeye99]

I don't see them mentioned as much anymore but I've got 8 troublefree years on a land and sea. Bob

[racer]

The gorilla has been replaced by the gorilla 2 it weighs nearly 90 pounds with the pump and lines its 18 over the original.

[jmc]

CMC and Detwieler aren't worth throwing dirt on.

I have a CMC that is going on 13 yrs....It and the gauge still work perfect.

[350cavi]

buddy of mine has a Hydraulic ParaLift from mercury racing, it's 12 inches of set back, and works fine and it weighs far less than those Gorilla and Gorilla 2 jackplates

[r.c.]

i don't have anything against a detwiler.some models are made petty good.
ron

[dreamboater]

Why cant I find anywhere the CMC plate that has 5.5" of setback and 2" of manual lift. This is what most considered on a 28 Skater and I can not find anyone that sells it.

[bgiles]

Hi there, the part number is available on the Cook MFG web site under retail pricing.

http://www.cook-mfg.com/

I found this place which list that part number, but the description simply says 2 inch manual. May be worth a call, the other idea is to call Cook Mfg and ask who is the closest distributor to you and see if they still manufacture it.


http://www.boatpartsandsupplies.net/Jack%20Plates.htm

[RSM]

Im not sure about there hydraulic but Detwieler makes a realy nice manual with adjust on the water capabilty (single bolt). I had a Land & Sea hydraulic years ago and it was a very nice piece, one of the things they got right.

[Rickracer]

They do have two 5.5" setback models, and they are here:
CMC ML-65 (http://rickracers.com/product_info.php?cPath=50_120&products_id=111) , and here: Two Piece Manual 5.5" (http://rickracers.com/product_info.php?cPath=50_120&products_id=122)

[riot280]

Detweiler plate that STV_Kieth mentioned with everything in it, including the sender, is a nice clean unit.

Kevin

[bgiles]

As alluded to above, the Detwiler Jackplates come very highly recommended. After doing a lot of poking around, I chose the 6 inch Detwiler Manual on the Water model that has 3 1/4 inch vertical movement.

RickRacer has the best prices around for what ever choice you make and are great to deal with.

Thats the one 65013, thanks. I will give them a call. Anyone know which plate is lighter the CMC or Detwiler? Anyone that knows a 28 Skater already knows its stern heavy w/300's moving the weight back makes that even worse especially in rough water.

[Brujo]

I have a bob's jackplate , i think it a good option, i have a johnson 225 hp 26 pitch cleaver .

[On Tap]

I've been looking at jackplates for my Vector restoration. I went to a well respected dealer (stratos, bumble bee, triton dealer) to order a Detwiler.

He said he wouldn't sell a Detwiler to his worst enemy. Says they have had a lot of trouble with them and Detwiler won't compensate them for the time they spend under warranty repair for their customers.

They recommend slidemaster or CMC. I've had a CMC in the past that worked well. My Allison jack has been trouble free also.

[Rickracer]

...than your dealer has ever sold, and I can tell you there have been very few warranty problems, and those were only related to the Ex-Zact dial controls which we try to steer customers away from. I suspect your dealer probably encourages or even pushes the dial adjustment. The Detwilers are very nice pieces of equipment, as are the Slidemasters. My personal choice in a hydraulic for a Vector would be either a Detwiler or a Bob's Machine. Price would be the determining factor. :cool:

[Fish]

just ordered a rapid jack from RICKRACERS.COM last wednesday, would not buy anywhere else. They are good people and treat us S&F'ers right. THanks rick and barbara,

fish

[On Tap]

Rickracers,

I appreciate your comments on the Detwiler. Good to hear other feedback from someone who moves a lot of equipment.

Went on your website yesterday...Great selection of transom jacks and other items!

I'll probably buy a manual jack from you along with an upper and lower transom saver (washers).

Keith

[Rickracer]

Just so you know, we offer a substantial discounts to Scream and Fly members, so be sure to let us know when you order. If you plan to order online, when you create the account, send us an email and let us know who you are so we can set your account up for the discount. That way you can see your discounted price on everything you're shopping for. Just let us know how we can help. :cool:

[On Tap]

Rickracers

Thanks for the info on the screamandfly member discount. I'll be contacting you for the transom jack, transom washers, steering syst, etc., after the Vector goes out to paint. Should be right around the first of the year.

Keith

[1fastbullet]

Who makes the Rapid Jack?? I think that is what I had on my last 21XD. It worked flawlessly. speed of raising and lowering was nice too. I can't find them listed on teh internet?? they go out of business ?? or get bought??

[salty cat]

big set-back and built to hang major horsepower off the back.....

[Instigator]

I bought two hydraulic Detwiler's from RickRacer and they are some of the best engineered I've seen!! Don't have much time on them yet but so far they have no problem handling the 250+ HP, 450+ lb JohnRudes on the back of my Sonic.
Great price and service from RR as always.
Gary

[David]

I bought an 8" Detwiler hyrdaulic from Rick's and have no regrets.

I was going to poke around to see if I could add the exact dial to it. Originally I had it on a Virage where the exact height was not critical. Now it is on an Allison and perhaps I need to know the height. Are the exact dials unreliable?

[Rickracer]

I don't know if I'd say the EX-ZACT Dials are unreliable, but they are in fact the only problems we have ever had with a Detwiler plate, period. I would recommend a mechanical indicator, they are pretty much foolproof. :cool:

[Flat Out]

I have an older CMC on 1 boat and a Stainless Gorilla on my newer one. The CMC is slow.Had to replace the rails after 40 hrs of use. Installed stainless rails.They warranteed the rails but I paid the difference for the ss ones. The new CMC s have thicker rails and a new pump mounted in the center of the jack vs the old ones that had the pump on the side. My 2cents, entry level jack, easy to install esp if you have no room to mount a pump in your boat.

As for the Stainless Marine jack,this is slick. Hi quality & super fast. More difficult to install but worth it. I have the thru hull fittings which runs the oil thru the transom eliminating the hydraulic hoses. The jack I have is one of the last to use a stud design. The new ones use bolts making them easier to install. Stainless offers a model that has 7 inches of lift, this is the one I have. Not much more money but definately worth it.

[Markus]

I have a CMC that is going on 13 yrs....It and the gauge still work perfect.

I second that. The stainless CMC plate is a really tough piece.

[brotherxb03]

Well i had a Land and Sea which was a piece of junk, but they don't make them anymore.I had to rebuild it twice and it would work a little while the wouldn't lift under a load. Now I have a Bob's and love it.It super fast,about 5 years old and reliable. The only thing I don't like is the space the remote pump takes up in the boat.

[David]

Rick,

There is a slot in my dash where a mechanical trim gage used to be. Is there a mechanical height gage that could fit there? How would I attach it to the jackplate? I could fill an unsightly hole and get some function.

Inline Six

I have an old Powerboat issue from when they tested your Baker. I thought it was just the ticket back then and I'd love a ride in it. You'll have to trailer the Allison to your lake though. It's too much for our Focus, and I haven't put a hitch on my Lotus yet. Maybe we should have a home and home series. I have a GPS.

[Rickracer]

Since there aren't that many manufacturers of mechanical indicators, there's a better than even chance that we can come up with one that fits. It comes as a kit with indicator, actuator, and cable. Things we will need to know for the actuator are: whether or not the trim pump is in the boat & shaft length, for the indicator: vertical or horizontal, and which side of the indicator for cable entry. Let us know if we can help. :cool:

[David]

Rick, the trim gage slot in my dash is for a "Stainless Marine" manual trim guage. Can I use this for a height gage?

[blkmtrfan]

Is what made me choose a Slidemaster.

6" manual is 200.00 and is strong yet fairly light weight.

Do they have a website?

[blkmtrfan]

Thanks for the info, I will do a little searching :)

[blkmtrfan]

I will look for my literature.

That would be cool, thanks

[MCRacing]

:D I've got Stainless Marine on a 20' offshore cat with no pod, engine takes a lot of direct hit from waves through the tunnel so far this unit is balistic. I highly recomend.

[Roddles]

Well thanx for being helpful guys.So many guys with great information!Now the criteria I have to satisfy is 1:I need very little setback 3 inches would be good.
2:I need something as light as possible without sacrificing strength.The hull is 280 lbs and is very twitchy with a manual jackplate on there at present.I will measure exactly the offset and let you guys know what it is.The manual jackplate is too agricultural for my liking and im not buying another manual jackplate.Its time for the modern way.The hull is carrying a 225 vindicator.I hope you guys can sort me out thankyou

[Matt Gent]

Does anyone make a very low setback (2-3") hydraulic plate with 4-5 inches of range?

[brotherxb03]

Bob's machine makes a 6". If you can find a used Land and Sea they are 4" but they don't make them no more.

[Rickracer]

....I don't know how their progressing with it or even if they are still working on it. I know they are now building jackplates for Mercury Marine. Also, Bob's Machine makes a 3 7/8" setback ultra lightweight unit, but it's only designed for up to a 115 hp motor. :cool:

[Lars T]

Does anybody have a pic and price on the Hydraulic ParaLift from mercury racing??

Or are they not worth the hassle?

[HP Gambler]

Vonnie, I also own a Land and Sea jack-plate and it's been great, however, I just found out that Land & Sea is now out of the marine business. I was over at their offiice last week and was told they do have some parts, but now they only make dyno's.

[Doug88008]

Do they have a website?
From http://www.bassandwalleyeboats.com/output.cfm?ID=943021

R&R Design of Terrell, Texas
(800/710-9889; no website), has several tricks up its sleeve. The company’s 300 hp-rated Slidemaster jackplates, available in manual or hydraulic models with 6 to 12 inches of setback, feature aluminum construction and a new interlocking gib design. The manual jacks are adjustable from inside the boat, and buyers can choose from milled or powdercoated finishes at prices from $200 to $300.

[blkmtrfan]

Thanks Doug88008 :)

[skaterjim]

i have 2 on a 28 skater work great. will be selling n going to different set back contact me if you want 1 or both

[Lars T]

Any comments and pics of the Paralifts from Merc??

[OkieBoatMech]

Had lots of luck w/ CMC's.

[DRHOBACK]

Lars,
The last year the Para-lift was offered from Mercury Racing Accessories catalog was 2003. They are rated for up to 425 lbs and not for use with 3.0L outboards.

Mercury is branding the 6" Detwiler in its place, but they are pricey from Merc. I have 2 of them(Detwiler) with 250XS. They are durable units, the only complaint I have is they scoop water if you plant them too deep on takeoff due to the slide design.
Danny

[Bruster]

Any comments and pics of the Paralifts from Merc??

I have a Paralift, Made by Mercury Marine on my Taylor, and I think it's pretty hard to beat. Initial installation height is important. If it is installed to high or low you make set back changes as the height is changed. If it is installed properly changes in setback thru the sweet spot are almost non existant. Working on the motor is easier with lots (12" or so) of vertical adjustment you can lower the motor when you work on the top or raise it up to work on the lower unit. Lots of good reasons to own this one, It's light weight, super strong. uses a standard Mercury power trim (easy to get) parts. :D

<img src=http://home.comcast.net/~mercmanwon/taylor6>

[riverracerxxx]

I had heard the para lift was quite heavy. Does anyone know the weight of that unit? My neighbor has one on his 20' Caliber Stinger (20' Baker ModVP) with a 225 Merc efi 3.0L. Hes been happy with it so far. Is this not a good setup? Why wasn't the para lift recomended for the 3 litters?

[SEDragBoat]

sell it Rick ..... LMAO

[fatboy0054]

Bobs Is About The Best All Round Simple ,lite And Strong !they Make Three Set Backs And Dirt Sand ! Dont Seem Too Bother Them ! I Am Always Throw Sand And Mud Up On Mind !in The Flats !

[TomAprilsswitzers]

:) :cheers: I have 3 CMC Jack Plates and have never had a problem with any of them. One is a 65SS for stainless steel, it weighs about 50 pounds and is connected to an OMC 400 HP V8. Handles the V8 very well. One of my other CMC 65 has a Johnson 225 on it and is 7 years old and still works like a charm...So CMC's products are reliable too. And when I looked into other Jack Plates, Like Bob's,they would not warrenty the Jack Plate for use on a V-8...

Theirs is only rated to 300HP, doesn't matter about V8. Bob's is releasing our 350+HP jack plate this summer. :)

[STV_Keith]

One note about my Detweiller 6" All-In-One plate is that the ram seal is leaking. Called Detweiller and was told my best option was to replace the ram with their new style unit (changed when the biz changed hands 2 years ago) for about $450! O-ring kit is $20 and may or may not fix the problem. :mad:

Just put a pair of the Bobs Machine 4" HD's on my Scarab, holding up my Johnson V8's. Haven't run it yet, but dad has used Bob's in the past with good success.

[gary slagle]

recently replaced my rapidjack with a slidemaster,a bit heavier but constructed very well & already adjusted hight on the water ,in my opinion,the best manual jackplate available & at a great cost, got it from pitstop from here:cheers:

[Chriseagle69]

I bass fish several tournament trails and hit submerged objects often trying to get to the big one! hanging on the back of my Z-21 is a Yamaha HPDI 250 supported by CMC jack plate. I'm not exactly easy on the plate hitting objects and it has performed to expectations everytime! and all the time.

[STV_Keith]

Theirs is only rated to 300HP, doesn't matter about V8. Bob's is releasing our 350+HP jack plate this summer. :)

Hey Steven, has this plate been released yet?

[Steven@BMS]

Hey Steven, has this plate been released yet?

We are "unveiling" it at the IBEX show this coming Monday, and it will be available for sale after the show ends on Wednesday.

So much for the unveiling at IBEX, but I don't mind sharing with my buddies here at S&F! :cheers:

I will be able to post pics and pricing after the show, and we have units ready for sale. Just another few days to keep you waiting!!

[STV_Keith]

Please do post pics and how it differs from the HD unit you sell now. I just put two of those on my Scarab, to hold up a pair of 25" offshore V8's and they are doing a great job, but those are only 380hp Monty motors. The next one I need will be for a 450+hp version for my STV.

Also, please let us (me) know what the minimum setback available will be. Thanks!

[Cobra1racer]

My CMC did some grunting with the V8 on it. Not to mention that it's not rated for V8's, I think it's the 65.


Keith are you goung with the 4.0 or the 3.6 V8? And I would guess it will have a merc lower. It would be easier the 3rd time around.

4.0l is what Monty likes to start with. It will have a 2.5l Sportmaster with 1.62's.

[Cobra1racer]

I should have kept mine. Oh well another will come along.

[baja200merk]

slidemaster is the chit :thumbsup:

[Kevinpmac]

Steven, I sent you a pm asking a question about my Bob's hydraulic jackplate.

It's a great plate, just like everything you guys do...

[STV_Keith]

We are "unveiling" it at the IBEX show this coming Monday, and it will be available for sale after the show ends on Wednesday.


Alright, it's Wednesday - where's the pics/specs!? :D

[Steven@BMS]

Alright, it's Wednesday - where's the pics/specs!? :D

Show ended yesterday and then had to take down the display, etc, didn't get home until after midnight.

But anyways, here is a picture of the new Extreme series jack plate in 10inch setback!

Redesigned all parts of the jack plate - new cylinder, new side rails with beefy radius and new designed bearings, thicker slide plate, new top bar, etc. Our design team worked closely with Yamaha engineers making sure it will work without problems on the Yamaha F350 (V8).

For those ready to order, please call as it is not on our website just yet.

Retail is set to $1100 for the complete kit

Dealers/vendors - please call and speak to Dee to become setup as a dealer, or send me a PM and I will get you all the paperwork.

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn97/BobsMachine/extreme.jpg


Currently the 10" is ready for sale, and the 4, 6, 8, and 12 will be coming shorty, just finishing up our fixtures for our CNC's to do the other setbacks.

[STV_Keith]

Awesome, thanks for the info. Do you know the weight of the 4" HD unit?

[onlytohavefun]

Hi all there in the USA!

First I have to say sorry for my bad English, I come from and live in GERMANY. I think you guys are able to help me with my questions:

I know this is a powerboatforum, but perhaps anyone has got experience with a boat I have got too?

I'm searching not only for the BEST jack plate company than also for the RIGHT jack plate for my boat. It's a 23.6 Foot Kelt, walk around, weight nearly 2 short tons/40 ibs, built like a Boston Whaler, see photo. The engine is a 225 HP 4-stroke Yamaha with 19" SS Mirage plus, speed max nearly 40 knots/nautic miles 46 mp/h. (I know you are laughing now... :-))

I often have to drive in a very shallow water, so i better need a lifting jack plate than always trim the engine up.



What will be the right solution for this boat, to buy a plate with 6"", 8"", 10"" or 12"" or even more width setback?
Could this boat will be run faster with a jack plate?
Witch system is to be prefer: The Hydraulic pump and motor-mounted inside the jackplate body or better inside the boat? I often drive in saltwater.



Thank you all for your answers and best wishes to you from the other side of the "big atlantic water"!


Best regards

Steven,

What is the total weight of the new 10" model as well as the 4" model?

Thanks

What is the weight of the 4 in 1 convertible manual plate?

[Steven@BMS]

What is the weight of the 4 in 1 convertible manual plate?

The 4 in 1 plate is 19lbs for the regular (up to 200hp), and the heavy duty (up to 300) is 27lbs.

[STV_Keith]

What's the weight on the new Ultra HD 350hp rated unit?

[Steven@BMS]

What's the weight on the new Ultra HD 350hp rated unit?

We are just finishing up the fixtures/tooling for the 4" and 6" Extreme (right now 10" is only one ready to go).

I will post weights when I have official number, but I would guess 4-7lbs more than regular.

Also FYI, we will have them ready by the end of '08 at the latest, probably Mid-November if no unexpected problems arise in the programming of the CNC's/etc. Then the 12" and 8" after that. :cool:
