[QUOTE="Natedog57, post: 364760, member: 14790"] I don't know of one offhand, but it seems they're pretty common, I doubt there's much to worry about (in terms of quality) if it looks good and is made by a reputable company. Just throwing this out there... it's not very difficult to make a small fixed jackplate out of 4 pieces of 1/4"x4" alum angle. I've made 3 or 4 now and they work well for the 25hp'ish sized engines. No they're not as adjustable as a "screw type" adjuster, but those won't be adjusted on the fly either. It is easy to have additional holes to adjust height, it seems that mounting the ventilation plate level to 1.5" above the bottom of the hull works pretty well (this will change depending on the setback).
