Things you find surfing the internet. I came across a website called On the Fly Jack Plates. Basically, this is an on the fly manual jack plate that allows for instant adjustments, even while motoring along. Some will whine about safety while motoring, but seriously pay attention and just be careful. These are not cheap, but not outrageous either. I would put one on my Jon boat for sure. Good stuff!
