T-H Marine ATLAS Hydraulic Jack Plate, AHJ-8V, 8 Inch Setback, Up to 300 HP / 625 lb
The T-H Marine ATLAS Hydraulic Jack Plate (AHJ-8V) is an 8 inch setback hydraulic jack plate built for outboard engines up to 300 hp or up to 625 pounds dry weight. It uses a self-contained one-piece hydraulic pump system, so there is no separate reservoir or hydraulic lines to install, and it lifts the engine from bottom to top in less than 8 seconds. The lifting mechanism uses a rod and slot design with high-tech engineered polymer rods rated up to six times more abrasion resistant than steel rods, and the rods are made from a self-lubricating material that eliminates the need for regular grease maintenance. A two-pin pump removal design allows for quick field maintenance and actuator replacement without removing the whole plate. The transom-side mounting plate measures 16 3/8 inches wide by 12 1/2 inches tall, with a stroke length of 5 inches and up to 7 inches of total height adjustment. The plate ships with a relay harness and rocker switch for engine control, and it is predrilled for Power-Pole and Minn-Kota Talon shallow water anchor bracket mounting. Mounting bolts are not included, and boat manufacturers or local dealers should be consulted for the correct setback recommendation for a specific boat.
