Bob's Machine Shop Standard Series Hydraulic Jack Plates for Boats
Improve Your Outboard with the Best Hydraulic Jack Plates
Bob's Machine Shop has been building jack plates for boaters for decades, and the Standard Series is where that reputation was earned. Each hydraulic jack plate is CNC-machined from aluminum for precision fit and long-term durability, giving you the setback and lift you need to run shallow, protect your prop, and get on plane faster. The Standard Series jack plates are a proven choice for boaters who want reliable, American-made hardware backed by a name the industry already trusts.
Choose from 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", or 14" setbacks in raw aluminum or a durable black powder-coated finish, and find the exact configuration that matches your boat and motor setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bob's Machine Shop Standard Series Hydraulic Jack Plates
-
What sizes of Hydraulic Jack plates are available in the Standard Series?
The Standard Series comes in 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", and 14" setbacks, so you can choose the right amount of distance between your motor and transom based on your boat and performance goals.
-
Why choose a one-piece jack plate design?
Unlike competitors that rely on separate setback spacers, Bob's Machine Shop builds their jack plates as a single piece, which means fewer parts, a cleaner install, and a stronger overall structure.
-
Do I need any additional parts for installation?
Most installs are straightforward with the included hardware, but if you're adding a side-mount Power Pole, you may need an additional side mount spacer. Hydrilla Gear can help you confirm exactly what your setup requires.
