Price is right, just uncertain if anyone has this particular model or sees why it would not be appropriate for a LT25-ish sized skiff with a 25 HP max, 9.9HP most likely. How often DO YOU fiddle w/ your jack plate anyway? Thx in advance.
That’s a manual plate. I adjust my jackplate constantly unless I’m making a long open water crossing.

However a manual jackplate can be very useful on small boats to provide a setback and lift.

Was thinking of setting it and forgetting about it, try to catch the swell behind the boat as it were. Again, have no experience of Jack plates but it would be for a very small boat application. Apparently I have some videos to watch and reading to do

The more setback you have the higher you can mount your outboard. For the rig you have it might be useful.

I’ve run a manual plate before. You don’t get the advantages of a traditional plate, but can usually get an extra inch or two..
.. Get your minds out the gutter..
Amazon/Ebay is eat up with em. They are all pretty much the same, so pick a price works for ya.
FYI: The build thread I did on mine can be modified and built without welding. Just take a few extra bolts.
If you want to tackle that project PM me and I can walk you through the basics.

Thx Mike!
I have a manual 4” Bobs jackplate.After finding the right height I rarely touch it.
My outboard also has PTT so that also helps

I had a manual jack plate on my Beavertail B2. It was set almost to the top and I never moved it the entire time I owned that skiff. My nose cone was even with the bottom of my hull. But that was a 50 horse and the boat had sponsons. I don’t think with a 9.9 or even a 25 would do the same though just because of the prop size and amount of cupping you can get on smaller props.
