[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 495451, member: 13975"] It's probably not recommended, but I've see a lot of rigs (duck boats especially) that have a manual jack plate stacked with a T&T unit. Personally, I dont see how it would be an issue especially on smaller hp outboards like yours. The only issue I see id getting too much setback which can make it uncomfortable if you are running a tiller in terms of reaching back to crank the motor and work choke. Can also bind up remote steering cables . Vance manufacturing makes a manual jackplate with only 3" of setback if you wanted to explore that option. The Bobs T&T units are better than the CMC based on all the reviews I have read. I personally have a Panther 55(?) which I would not recommend due to it being a linear actuated motor vs hydraulics. It's slow and I just don't trust it since if water gets into it, its game over.
