[QUOTE="onthewatersx3, post: 434268, member: 22370"] The mini-jacker looks like one single cast piece of metal, a simple bracket with no moving parts. If true I don't believe the earlier blogger saying you could adjust and "dial in" the exact height would be accurate using the mini-jacker. There are more expensive jack plates which do allow about 4 inches of height adjustment BUT they'll run you a lot more money and the one I bought weighs about 50 lbs. which is not a great idea on the tail of a short boat - you could be very transom-low / bow-high at rest. There are Pro's and Con's. Maybe you can position the stationary mini jacker at just the right height to lower the cav plate but still allow the motor to rotate freely over the transom? You can always send it back if it doesn't line up lol. Good Luck! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
