Total weight: 24 pounds
Simply
the best idea ever for the adventurous sportsman! This plate allows
access to the previously unreachable fishing or hunting ground with a
standard tiller engine without worries of prop damage.
Here's how it works:
The
jack plate is designed to swivel on the rugged stainless steel shaft in
case of an obstacle such as a stump or rock while carefully trolling
back to the hotspots your buddies can't reach!
Simply
tighten the side swivels to desired setting for your rig size and you
are protected from a potential lower unit or prop BOO-BOO! Also included
are two safety cables to prevent over-travel swiveling of engine when
an obstruction is encountered.
Tightness
is determined by engine reverse requirement. The larger the engine, the
tighter the swivels for preventing flip-up during reverse.
This
is the only Kick-Up plate manufactured by any manufacturer that has
vertical travel similar to a jackplate as well as the kick up function limited by stainless steel chain in
the event of hitting a log, stump or earth below.
No
springs to break and no replacement parts necessary as the JPL9650 is
made of aircraft quality aluminum and 3/8 stainless steel chain, grade 316.
CLAMP ON ENGINES:
This unit is compatible with clamp on engines by adding the accessory star-board plate. If you have a clamp-on engine that is not standard BIA Bolt pattern and wish to use this unit, in the options tab add the star-board plate for clamp on engines and it will come installed on the unit so you can use your clamps and have a solid mounting surface. The starboard plate adds 5 more pounds to the weight of the item. The plate is made from marine grade plastic that is resistant to freezing, corrosion, and rot. It is 1 inch thick and spans across the entire mounting surface so that you have plenty of room to mount your engine.
