What setback lengths are available for this jack plate?

This Bob's Machine Shop Action series jack plate is available in 4 inch and 6 inch setback lengths.

How do I choose between the 4 inch and 6 inch setback?

Choose the 4 inch setback for smaller boats or limited transom/rigging clearance, and the 6 inch setback for larger or higher-horsepower boats where additional distance from the transom improves prop bite and steering feel.

What color and finish does this jack plate come in?

Both setback options are finished in powder coated black.

Who makes this jack plate?

This jack plate is made by Bob's Machine Shop as part of its Action series.

What type of product is this?

This is a jack plate, a mechanical mounting bracket used to set an outboard motor back from a boat's transom at an adjustable height.

Is this jack plate hydraulic or manual?

The Action series jack plate is a manual, bolt-on setback plate rather than a hydraulic jack plate.

Will this jack plate fit my boat?

Fitment depends on your transom thickness, motor bracket, and rigging length, so confirm these measurements against the setback length you select before ordering.

Does the setback length affect the weight of the jack plate?

Yes, the 6 inch setback plate is a larger assembly than the 4 inch setback plate, so weight varies between the two options.

Machined and assembled by Bob's Machine Shop, this jack plate is finished in a durable powder coated black that resists corrosion in fresh and saltwater environments. It is built for anglers and boaters who want manual adjustability and proven strength without the complexity or expense of a hydraulic system.

Sizes & Options

This jack plate is available in two setback lengths: 4 inch and 6 inch. The 4 inch setback is a common choice for smaller boats or applications where transom and rigging length are limited, while the 6 inch setback provides additional distance from the transom, which can further improve prop bite and reduce steering torque on larger or higher-horsepower rigs. Confirm your boat's transom design, steering/control cable length, and motor bracket clearance before choosing a setback length.
