lightening a bobs hyd jack plate
after studying my 10'' 50 lb unit seems lots of metal could be removed via cnc without compromise strength. most is 1/2 thich alum sides; bottom ect. but where engine bolts up its only a thin plate and when all way up im suprised it doesnt snap. i would have thought twice known how heavy. like a 12 bat hanging off back! any opinions guys? mayybe thin slider is special alloy?
