[QUOTE="surfman, post: 373098, member: 7404"] I don’t think a jack plate will “help you get on plane” however it will let you run shallow, and a drawback to the low water pickup is that they have a tendency to suck up a lot of mud since the water pick up is moved to the lower front of the lower unit. A hydro foil might help get you on plane better but really you just need to idle into deeper water before you throttle up, it is a lot better for the grass flat too. If you decide to go that route, please post back how well it worked, thanks. [/QUOTE]
