Frequently Asked Questions About Atlas Standard Jack Plates
What is the difference between a jack plate and a set back plate?
Similar to set back plates, Jack plates contribute weight and a modest extension between the engine and the transom. However, jack plates also facilitate the vertical adjustment of the engine's position in the water.
Does a jack plate help in shallow water?
Yes, jack plates enhance performance in general and in shallow waters specifically. By attaching your outboard motor to a jackplate, which is either hydraulically or electrically powered and mounted on the boat's transom, you gain the ability to vertically adjust your engine instead of altering the thrust angle.
What is the proper height for a jack plate?
We recommend positioning the propeller shaft 3.5 inches beneath the hull's pad.
