Smaller outboard motors are becoming more popular for auxiliary propulsion or trolling, even on larger boats. Bob's Machine Shop offers a jackplate that provides the option of using a kicker engine on nearly any boat.At home on fishing boats with large outboards or powering a disabled 40' cruiser back to the slip, the jack will easily handle engines up to 40 hp. Sailboats, which often rely on small auxiliary motors, will also benefit from the jackplate's ability to reduce drag from the engine. Powerboats can even use the kicker jack in no-wake zones, during slow cruising or when navigating in shallow backwaters.
To provide high strength with minimal weight, the jackplate is built with 6061 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum. Its hydraulic motor is mounted inside the boat for long life and easy maintenance.
Retail price on Bob's kicker jack is $849.
Bob's Machine Shop is a major supplier of engine performance accessories, including jackplates for engines up to 300 hp.
