Homemade Jack Plate

[bige818]

Hello,thats an awesome job!! May i ask where you got the angles?? Hardware store,welding shop??? Thank you

I got the angle from Rick50 (tinboats member). He has a welding shop on the side and he had it laying around leftover from a job. I found some the other day at a local scrap yard that wasn't bad priced. You might be better off buying a premade jack plate if you have to buy the angle new$$$$. You can find set back brackets for under $100. If you find the angle and have any questions, let me know.

how are you moving that motor up and down. i don't see any means of a manual or electric
lift

i thought there are outboard brackets that move the motor back and then jack plates that move it back and has the ability to move up and down.
did i miss something in the post?

looks good either way

I cut slots to slide the motor up and down. There isn't any mechanical means to adjust it like you are referring too. I just loosen the bolts and pick the motor up. Once adjusted, I haven't found the need to move it any further.
