[QUOTE="Aaron Lariscy, post: 201093, member: 5884"] I am curious if I can use a jack plate to get my outboard to run a little shallower, as it sits now the cavitation plate is 2 inches below the bottom of the boat. From what I have read for every 2 inches you move the motor back you can move it up one inch so if I were to make a jack plate that moved the motor back 2 inches I could move the motor up 3 inches correct. 2 for how much it is already low and another inch because I am two inches back. The whole reasoning is I run some pretty shallow creeks fishing and every inch counts. Boat is a 1232 and motor is a 7.5 mercury. [/QUOTE]
