Bob's Machine Shop 100-506000-NOPC-NOSPN Versa Series Jack Plate, 6 Inch Setback, 300 HP Max

The Bob's Machine Shop Versa Series Jack Plate (100-506000-NOPC-NOSPN) is a manual jack plate built for outboard-powered boats running engines up to 300 HP. It is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum in a one-piece design, so there is no need for the setback spacers that many competing jack plates require to reach the same 6 inch setback. The plate mounts between the transom and the outboard, letting the operator raise or lower engine height and adjust it while the boat is in the water to fine-tune performance, hole shot, and fuel efficiency.

What sets the Versa Series apart is its upgrade path: it is built to be converted from manual to full hydraulic operation whenever the owner chooses. Using basic hand tools, the manual screw assembly can be removed and replaced with a hydraulic cylinder kit, with the hydraulic pump mounted inside the boat for protection from the elements and longer service life. The plate includes tension rods and automotive grease nipples for easy lubrication, and it comes pre-drilled for side-mount power poles, simplifying accessory installation. The aluminum structure carries a limited lifetime warranty, and it is made in the USA.
