Jack plates are not designed to lower your motor only raise it.
Pontoon boat jack plate. For example Bennington doesnt want jack plates on their boats--structural reasons. CMC 6 hyd jackplates run about 800 bucks. Our Allison actually has the fist production version.
Hydraulic jack plates really not preferred for pontoons. There will be less drag force on the boat. Hydraulic jack plates will sit the motor back farther and that puts substantially more stress on the relatively weak back end.
43 out of 5 stars 3. A jack plate will lift your engine up in the water and bring your propeller closer to the surface of the water. You could try lowering it and see if there is a difference.
Pontoon transoms are relatively weak anyway. You know the drill. As a greater part of your engine is now out of the water.
Check Out Outboard Engine Jack Plates On eBay. I trust your tritoon has lifting strakes. Pontoonstritoons are different animals than a bass boat when it comes to setup and propping.
