It is machined from full 1\/2 inch thick aircraft grade aluminum and uses the Z-Lock design, in which matching slotted extrusions on the plate lock the side plates in place to eliminate side slippage and unwanted movement between the transom and motor mounting sections. This gives the plate strength and stability that a standard sliding jack plate design does not provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight is adjusted manually from the top of the jack plate using a center bolt, with 5 inches of vertical adjustment available so the outboard can be positioned to optimize performance, fuel economy, and handling in shallow water. The JPZ-8 is rated to handle all V6 and V8 outboards up to 300 hp, making it suitable for a wide range of mid-size to larger outboard-powered boats. It is also compatible with T-H Marine's Z-Lock Hot Shot hole shot plate accessory, which attaches to the bottom of the jack plate for improved hole shot performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e T-H Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e JPZ-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft grade aluminum, full 1\/2 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual, adjusted from top of jack plate with center bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All V6 and V8 outboards up to 300 hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41.47 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 733572070750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits all V6 and V8 outboards up to 300 hp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat setback does the JPZ-8 jack plate provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e The T-H Marine JPZ-8 Z-Lock jack plate provides an 8 inch setback, positioning the outboard further behind the transom to improve performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat outboards is the JPZ-8 rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This jack plate handles all V6 and V8 outboards up to 300 hp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the JPZ-8 a manual or hydraulic jack plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a manual jack plate, adjusted from the top using a center bolt rather than a hydraulic pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the JPZ-8 jack plate made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JPZ-8 is made from full 1\/2 inch thick aircraft grade aluminum for strength and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much vertical adjustment does the Z-Lock jack plate offer?\u003c\/strong\u003e The JPZ-8 offers 5 inches of vertical adjustment for setting the outboard mounting height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Z-Lock design different from a standard jack plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching slotted extrusions in the Z-Lock design lock the side plates in place, which eliminates side slippage and movement that can occur with standard sliding jack plate designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the JPZ-8 jack plate weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The T-H Marine JPZ-8 weighs 41.47 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre mounting bolts included with the JPZ-8?\u003c\/strong\u003e The dossier for the JPZ-8 Z-Lock jack plate does not specify included mounting hardware; check with T-H Marine or your dealer before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add a hole shot plate to the JPZ-8?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, T-H Marine's Z-Lock Hot Shot hole shot plate (model JPZHSP-8) is designed to attach to the bottom of the JPZ-8 style jack plate to improve hole shot performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat other setback sizes are available in the Z-Lock series?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Z-Lock jack plate series is also available in 4 inch, 6 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch setback sizes, in addition to the 8 inch JPZ-8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I get a setback recommendation before buying the JPZ-8?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, T-H Marine recommends contacting your boat manufacturer or local dealer for a setback recommendation for your particular boat, since adding a jack plate can affect handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T-H Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991264800987,"sku":"T-H-JPZ-8-DP","price":693.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/z-lock-manual-jack-plate-33062322569259_f3eec248-7a0b-49de-a715-d0124fabfa8e.jpg?v=1784498665","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/t-h-marine-z-lock-manual-jack-plate-8-setback-fits-all-v6-v8-outboards-up-to-300-hp-mpn-jpz-8","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
