Vance Clamp-On Adapter Plate

Product Specs:

• It’s 1 inch thick and predrilled to match the standard BIA pattern.
• The material is called Starboard, which is a marine-grade polymer that works great in saltwater.
• It’s made of very strong material; you can drill holes through this plate to hold your clamp-on engine down even better (we recommend this).
• It’s rated for 50-HP engines and below.
• Quality First you can count on from Vance Manufacturing.
• Stainless steel hardware is included, but to ensure we send you the right hardware length, we need to know what model jack plate you have (Example: JPL4500). The product model number is in the ad heading on all of our products.
• It will fit any Vance Manufacturing hydraulic, kick-up plate, hydraulic kick-up or standard jack plate.
• It will not fit the Vance Manufacturing mini jack plates (Example: JPL2412SB).
• If your engine needs more than 1 inch of spacing for the clamps to tighten, you can use two or three of these units stacked together.
• It is recommended to use a 4'' setback jack plate or greater in combination with this so that your engine clamps clear the transom and do not hit the back of the inside of the jack plate or your transom.

The plate has predrilled holes for 1/2'' stainless hardware, and the mounting hole dimensions are listed below in inches.

• 12 7/8'' across the top two holes from center to center
• 9 7/8'' across the bottom two holes from center to center
• 8'' of vertical distance between the top holes and bottom mounting holes

This item comes in handy in a few different situations. First, if you already have one of our standard jack plates (not mini) and you have a clamp-on engine that is not the standard bolt pattern, you will need this. Second, if you have two engines you use on the same boat and one of them is a clamp-on-style engine and the other is a standard-bolt-pattern engine, you will want to purchase a 4'' setback jack plate or greater and this clamp-on adapter. Third, if you have a clamp-on-style engine now and are thinking about or planning to purchase a larger standard bolt pattern in the future, you will want to purchase a 4'' setback jack plate or greater and this clamp-on adapter so that you don't have to purchase a new jack plate to fit your engine in the future.

If you have any questions about fitment or this product, please send us an email or give us a call! We are here to help you at Vance Manufacturing and want to ensure you get the right thing the first time.
