The MJ-1-DP gives you straightforward, mechanical height and setback adjustment so you can place the engine where it performs best. Built from cast aluminum with a weather-resistant laminated wooden mounting block, this jack plate is aimed at jon boats, skiffs, aluminum hulls and inflatables that need better shallow-water handling and cleaner propeller flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will moving the motor back and up help my boat’s performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising the lower unit and moving the engine away from the transom improves water flow around the propeller and reduces suction and cavitation. That change translates to more efficient thrust, quicker planing, and a noticeable difference in acceleration and top-end speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch setback shifts the propeller away from transom turbulence for cleaner flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch lift reduces drag and minimizes propeller ventilation in shallow water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized propeller angle can reduce fuel consumption at cruising speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this jack plate fit my engine and boat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MJ-1-DP is engineered for small outboards rated between 6 and 35 horsepower and fits typical transom layouts found on shallow-water craft.

The Bzcovac MJ-1-DP is aimed at anglers, recreational boaters, and owners of small shallow-draft boats who want a cost-effective, mechanical way to improve acceleration, top speed, and handling without modifying the motor. If you operate a 6–35 HP outboard on a jon boat, skiff, aluminum hull, or inflatable and you need better shallow-water performance and cleaner propeller flow, this jack plate provides a durable, easy-to-install solution backed by a 1-year warranty and a 30-day return window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What horsepower range does the MJ-1-DP support?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The MJ-1-DP is designed for outboards rated from 6 to 35 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the jack plate include mounting hardware?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It ships with the laminated wooden block; use stainless bolts and washers (recommended) for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Bzcovac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48030483611809,"sku":"B0C7MMDGBH","price":191.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6532\/5729\/files\/bzcovac-front-view-jack-plate.jpg?v=1791402789","url":"https:\/\/canadiansporting.ca\/products\/mj-1-dp-jack-plate-4-inch-setback-for-outboard-motors-up-to","provider":"Canadian Sporting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
