[QUOTE="BaitCaster, post: 199909, member: 2895"] I got my mini-jacker installed yesterday. As some of you may remember, I got the jacker to create more clearance between my lower unit and trasnom so I can get better side image scans on my Humminbird. I am hoping I also get some improved outboard performance. Anyway, this was one of the easiest installs I have done. It only took 1/2 hour. First thing you do is drill out the holes on the jack plate. I used a 1/2 inch drill. [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj1.JPG"]23553._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj2.JPG"]23552._xfImport[/ATTACH] I laid out some lines on the transom in order to get the jack centred and then marked out one hole. No turning back now! [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj3.JPG"]23554._xfImport[/ATTACH] I used 1/2 inch stainless steel hex bolts. They are expensive, but necessary. [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj4.JPG"]23555._xfImport[/ATTACH] I hand tightened the bolt and then levelled up the jack plate to mark out a second hole. [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj5.JPG"]23556._xfImport[/ATTACH] After securing the plate with the second bolt I used the plate as a template to drill out the remaining holes and then attached the remaining bolts. [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj6.JPG"]23557._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj7.JPG"]23558._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj8.JPG"]23559._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj9.JPG"]23560._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="mj10.JPG"]23561._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now there is ample clearance for the transducer. I haven't applied any marine sealant to the holes yet as I need to test run the motor and detemine whether it needs to be moved up or down. Once I am satsified with it I will apply the sealant.
