Jack Plates 101
I am seeing a lot of boats with “jack plates” or “set back plates” I’m not exactly sure what you call it. The guys say they get a lot better fuel economy and more speed from using it?
Is this true? How does it work? I’m thinking that if the propulsion is further behind the transom the boat might be riding higher when on the plane. Does this make sense? And then also why is the position of the prop raised when a jack plate is used? |
