Jackplate Question
The jackplate on our 24ft Everglades 24eCC needs to be replaced. The
original one with an approxiamte 6+ inch setback is being replaced a
heavy duty rated version with a 3 7/8 setback, based on the
recomendation of the rigger who does all the new boats for this dealer.
Not being an expert at jack-plates, I was curious to know if the smaller
setback would result in any appreciable or noticeable differences. Based
on our typical usage, 99% of the time the engine is all the way down,
the few times we run shallow, or idle in the flats, I will raise it as
much as necessary. We typically do not run any great distances with the
engine in the 'up' configuration.
The boat is rigged with a Yamaha 300 HPDI and based on the dealer's
rigger, the smaller setback and HD unit is the one they rig on the new
boats.
Thanx in advance...
