    My wife and I just bought a brand new 2022 Z20 nitro. It has a 12 inch atlas jack plate. Very informative video.

    4 blade props give you least amount of plane time under load in shallow water with the jack plate up in considerable calm conditions. 3 blade props give you longer plane time in every condition regardless of jack plate position but will give you more mph. The higher the pitch number the more speed, the lower the pitch number less bow rise which will result in faster plane time but at the sacrifice of speed.

    I have a Scout 162SF/60hp Yamaha and fish The Indian River Lagoon System, Merritt Island, FL. I'm thinking a 4" will be fine for me. My only interest is fishing shallow water. I also have a kayak for those places a boat can't go and hoping to open those locations up some with a jack plate. T-H Marine Mini. electric. Very informative video. Thx for taking the time to make it. Fish on!

    My situation is when I’m at full speed and trimmed up, my back end starts fish tailing.
    Do I need to lower jack plate? Bye the way I don’t have a hydraulic jack plate, it’s mechanical.

      Thats “crabbing.” Raise the motor in small increments (1/8”). Depending on which prop I run, mine usually starts to do that at 3 3/4 prop to pad or lower. Just remember the higher you raise it you’ll increase top end to a point, but the choppy ride will get worse. Like Crews said in the video...in the nasty stuff, he drops the motor low. Without a hydraulic plate, you have to find a happy medium on engine height.

    • @JohnCrews
      @JohnCrews  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      TheMannyduckslayer The answer is to bump your trim down until it starts to even out. I will do a video explanation soon

      Do you have hydraulic steering check for play in the steering when the boat is parked turn the wheel slowly and see if there's any play it should respond right away as soon as you touch the wheel let us know how you make out

  • @nutechlures6130
    @nutechlures6130 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the hub of the prop is all the same unless you have a over the hub exhaust. predator 4 blades were over the hub prop. and, of course the old chopper prop is an full over the hub exhaust. through hub exhaust, the hub is fits your lower unit barrel. now you can have different length blades, and they can also have longer rake. all of this will factor into how that prop will take off. more blade and rake will take off slower than a prop with shorter blades and less rake.

    Does the jack plate replace the traditional trim switch or do you use both? I’m new to boating and trying to learn and understand what every parts function is.

    • @MarshallSorenson
      @MarshallSorenson 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You still need both. Motor trim is most important for fuel economy. Motor height (jack) can help fine tune on plane, or run super shallow off plane.

    so whats the difference between a jack plate and the power trim other than vertical vs horizontal?

    • @JohnCrews
      @JohnCrews  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The jack plate moves the motor vertically up and down. The trim changes the angler of the motor. Both need to be adjusted at different times to let the boat and engine operate optimally.

    • @fishingismydrug1
      @fishingismydrug1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      - Have you tried lowering the plate?
      - Can you put plugs in the holes, on the prop?
      - If the above has been done, I'd recommend getting ahold of a local propeller shop. Pick there brain, verify you have the correct diameter and pitch prop.
      - Have tried rearranging weight in the boat?

    OK, maybe I missed it. So what's the whole purpose of having a jack plate as well as why would you raise it higher while up on plane? Opposed to not having one at all.

    • @eddonahue2756
      @eddonahue2756 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It gives you adjustment to get the right amount of motor out of the water for a particular boat. A lot of people find a sweet spot and never adjust it again. Some do all the time looking for speed. I’m not a pro fisherman so speed means nothing to me but I like to optimize and get the boat and motor out of the water as much as I can at cruise speed for gas mileage and stability. The more boat AND motor out of the water means less drag and better mileage. This usually gives you a better ride also. Plus, if you do want the speed it’s available to If you crank it up a little more.

    • @eddonahue2756
      @eddonahue2756 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also on a lot of boats adding a jack plate will get you up faster out of the hole and stop porpoising just because of setting the motor farther back.

    @spring4522 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Boat propellors are affected by cavitation, and ventilation. They don't "spin out". That, and his brief foray into propellor blades made it clear to me John does not understand the science behind propellors. It would have been a much better and more concise presentation if he did. He may know a lot about other things but how a propellor works, and why we do the things we do to get optimum performance out of them is not one.
