MJ-1-DP Mini Jack Plate with 4" Setback, Fits Outboard Motor Up to 35 HP, Cast Aluminum with Mounting Wood

• Optimizes Performance - The MJ-1-DP Jack Plate allows you to customize the height and setback of the motor, enabling you to adjust the position of your boat's motor in relation to the water surface. Raising the motor helps reduce drag and improve the boat's hydrodynamics. By positioning the engine optimally, it enhances propeller efficiency, reduces cavitation, and boosts overall power output.
• Broad Compatibility - Custom-designed for small outboard motors from 6-35HP, this jack plate is perfect for Jon boats, shallow water skiffs, aluminum boats, and inflatables. The 4-inch setback effectively moves the engine away from the transom, enhancing engine performance, reducing cavitation, and optimizing propeller efficiency. This greatly helps to improve top speed and stability.
• Cast Aluminum Construction Jack - Cast aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and durable properties, combined with a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is highly resistant to corrosion, which is crucial for marine environments where exposure to water and salt can lead to rapid material degradation. Its durability ensures that it can withstand the harsh conditions typically encountered in marine settings
• Weather-Resistant Wooden Mounting Block - The jack plate includes a wooden mounting block that serves as a support base to secure the jack plate to the transom. Its laminated multi-layer structure effectively prevents warping due to moisture, providing stable support while absorbing pressure and vibrations from the engine
• Key Steps and Suggestions - Start by clamping the Jack Plate in place to maintain correct positioning and stability during the drilling process. Using the pre-marked spots on the plate, drill holes accurately for optimal fit and performance. Install the plate with stainless bolts to provide durability and resistance to corrosion, and use large fender washers on the inside of the transom to distribute the load more evenly.

The MJ-1-DP jack plate is perfect for boats that require engine height and setback adjustments. It allows you to raise or lower the motor to the ideal position, ensuring better buoyancy and power. By positioning the engine optimally, it enhances propeller efficiency, reduces cavitation, and boosts overall power output. After installation, you’ll notice improvements in top speed and acceleration, making it an ideal upgrade for enhanced performance on the water.
