[QUOTE="lowe1648, post: 297255, member: 6349"] Im with lil blue rude on going with a riser instead of jack plate. I've heard about more pros then cons. I have two sets of holes in my motor mount one slotted and one not. I set my foot as to how obj recommends. Drilled and bolted the slotted holes ran it the tried higher and lower. I ended up putting the shoe where obj recommends and drilled and bolted. Once you find the correct spot you don't need to move it. With a jack plate most everyone I've seen post anything has had to extend the bottom of the boat to the intake to keep a smooth water flow. I personally don't see any positive in using a manual jack plate. Jack plates will cause your transom to fail faster then a riser because of the setback. I had to redo and reinforce my transom on my lowe after 10 years with a riser. [/QUOTE]
