T-H Marine Z-Lock JPZ-6 Manual Jack Plate, 6 Inch Setback for V6/V8 Outboards up to 300 HP

The T-H Marine Z-Lock Manual Jack Plate JPZ-6 is a 6 inch setback jack plate built to move your outboard aft and adjust its height for improved performance, hole shot, and top speed. It handles all V6 and V8 outboards up to 300 hp, making it suited to a wide range of bass boats and other outboard-powered rigs. The Z-Lock design upgrades T-H Marine's HI-JACKER jack plate series with matching slotted extrusions that lock the side plates in place, eliminating the side slippage that can develop over time on ordinary jack plate designs. This keeps the plate rigid and aligned under load instead of working loose.

Construction is strong aircraft grade aluminum, a full 1/2 inch thick for strength, so the plate stands up to the stress of high-horsepower outboards and repeated trim cycles. The plate provides 5 inches of vertical adjustment and is easy to adjust from the top of the jack, so height changes can be made without dropping the plate off the boat. Because the JPZ-6 is a manual jack plate, setback and height are set by hand rather than by hydraulic actuator, which keeps the design simple with fewer parts to maintain. T-H Marine recommends contacting your boat manufacturer or local dealer for the correct setback recommendation for your specific boat, and to understand how adding a jack plate can affect your boat's handling. The Z-Lock series is also available in 4, 8, 10, and 12 inch setbacks if a different setback is needed, and is compatible with T-H Marine's Hot Shot hole shot plate for additional hole shot improvement.
