It is great to have your father help you with projects like this, Great Bonding together. My dad passed away in 1981. I miss him so Bad. I was only 19 at the time. Hold on to him tight my brother, We only have our parents for a short time.
Nice information vid man. I’m getting ready to buy a similar jackplate and install on my 17’ aluminum Bass Tracker so that I am able to adjust the height on my 60/40 Mercury jet drive. Nice to see it done before I start my project.
I've put several plates on and I have a couple things Id recommend. 1st off I personally prefer 3m 4200 for sealant silicones a pain to get completely clean if it need to be removed again. I also recommend taking a popsicle stick and use it to coat the transom bolt holes prior to installing the bolts to help seal the core. I also put a ring around the bolt head again its extra protection. Another thing I do is run the bolts head inside with shank coming through to the outside with either a big washer or plate on the inside. You can also do a small ring of sealant around the outer bolt hole.
Great video thanks! I’m debating between purchasing the original jack plate you had and the new model you just installed. Was the quality decent on the original plate? It’s about $100 cheaper but I’m worried since I saw your bolt snapped.
I put mine on by myself, it sucked some parts of the day because I would get it leveled out and when I put the clamps on , one side would slide down as I’m marking it. Next time I’m gonna make a template
Believe it or not, I haven’t had the chance to take it out since I’ve installed the jackplate. I’m also interested to see if I gain an extra mph or two. I’ll be using it next week and will update you once I test it out.
Just wanted to follow up. I gained 1-2 mph I believe. I need to do more testing but I hit 58 today with two people which is faster than I used to run with a partner.

I am extremely grateful to have the wonderful parents that I do. My dad has shaped me for the better and I wouldn’t change that for anything👍🏼
Glad for this video I just installed my Vance yesterday backwards 🌴

Nice. I definitely used more sealant than I needed but I like to be on the cautious side as well!
What seiz of bolt r the one u put in the jackplate and motor
You use 304 or 316 SS bolts on transom?
Can you give me a link to that jack plate at that price?
I need one of those boat Ho,s Lol great video enjoyed it.

It lasted for roughly 25 years so it was definitely built well! Might be worth calling and seeing what the difference is between the models
Is that a 25 inch shaft and a 20 inch transom? Looking at an outboard but it's a 25 and my transom is 20. Been seeing a lot of mixed reviews
Not sure, I can check this evening for you
Great job man. Not sure if you mentioned derigging?
We had enough slack that we were able to leave everything connected
looks like your dads a smart man
I put mine on by myself, it sucked some parts of the day because I would get it leveled out and when I put the clamps on , one side would slide down as I’m marking it. Next time I’m gonna make a template
I can’t imagine doing that job by yourself! An extra set of hands always helps
Looking to purchase the 8” Vance Jack plate. Do you or anyone you know have a power pole bracket attached to the side of the Vance?
I don’t... just sold the bought at the end of last year too. Was a great boat.
Plate definitely loosened and was damaged. Not worn out.
FWIW, @9:35 mark, 3m 5200 or 4200 is far superior to the silicone they provide (or any silicone for that matter)
Nah, thats why I have an electric winch 16' high in my shop. Easy peasy
Top speed increase?

can I buy your old plate off you to refurbish?
I’ve already gotten rid of it man!
@@JenkinsBassFishing darn lol, i am in canada so shipping would of sucked. how much was your new one?
Only 211$ which is very reasonable
@@JenkinsBassFishing i would of like his old one too. drilled the bolt holes bigger and put in stronger bolts.... here in uk they are stupid prices.
phill downes That’s crazy. I had no idea they were so expensive in Canada
