Jackplate

[larwat]

I'm running a 5.5" jackplate on my 21' Enchanter with 2.6 Evinrude. Shaft is running 3" below pad. It's raised as high as it will go, old jackplate. Would I do better with a 10" plate? Running 18 lbs. wp at 5k with no nose cone.

OOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm VERY interested in seeing what's said on this thread! I have a 2.4 merc 10" setback/ jackplate and also at @ 3" below- havent run mine yet ( still waiting on a prop AND cables to get shipped!) Need water scoops ( would love to find the $20 ones everyone talks about- but starting to believe they are a unicorn) I can't wait to see what all is said about Enchanter performance/ setup!!! Good post larwat!

Mercury part #17280A2 on the scoops.

I've used them in the past on a 2.4L- work great!

Want me to come down and get that 200 from ya?? I could make good use of it!

larwat- I'm sure you could benefit from more setback, and it wouldn't hurt to get something that gave you the freedom to move up more if you want.

You can buy one of the 4" plates that hotdaddy27 has for sale.
