The idiots who installed my jackplate put the bolts in backwards so the nut is facing forward towards the splashwell. I am afraid to take the bolt out so I have to have someone turn the bolts around.
This is NOT going to stop it. I just saw photos of where the failure is at the Atlas Jackplate. Is there a longer cable option so you can mount it to an area that won't break off?
The Recent Boat Accidents Posted On Some Fishing Sites Where The Motor Broke Off and Ended Up In The Driver / Passenger Seats Those Motors Broke Off At The Motor Mounts and Not The Jack Plates , If They Had Leashes Hopefully That Would Have Stop The Motor From Flipping Into The Boat Since The Leash Mounts To The Jack Plate. For The Cost Of What We Pay For Other Add Ons , $300 Doesn’t Seem So Bad , If It Can Prevent A Serious Injury and/or Loss Of Life , I’m Willing To Take That Chance. Take Care All and Be Safe On The Water.
just ordered one - what are the torque #s for the motor and the leash to the bracket
I dont understand the physics of this. If the motor rips off its mount to come in the boat then wont it rip these bolts out as well? Please explain.
I want to buy one, but wondering the same thing.

... At 3:00 and 3:13, are you tightening that nut/bolt all the way?
Thanks.
It would not appear that way based on the rotation at end during trim lifting
Nice and dark where you can't see it that's how I like it! 😔
😮 Wow 350$ ! Crazy for a 50$ item ! But its for fishing so lets Hammer the anglers more !!
