[QUOTE="Vol423, post: 439728, member: 6621"] I have never seen a jet outboard work well with a jackplate of any thickness. The only value of a jackplate for a jet is to raise the motor sufficiently to align the intake with the top of the tunnel or bottom of the boat. If the jackplate moves the intake very far away from the "clean", bubble-free water the motor will cavitate. It is cheaper to build up the transom to the correct height than to buy a jackplate anyway. [/QUOTE]
