The VEPURLT jack plate is a lightweight aluminum solution with pre-drilled mounting patterns, bronze and brass hardware to reduce binding, and smooth single-bolt vertical adjustment that provides up to 4 inches of travel plus 4 inches of setback. It arrives ready to bolt on for many common outboard installations and includes a one-year manufacturer warranty against defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this jack plate help with poor holeshot and trim problems?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising and setting back the motor changes propeller immersion and hull trim, which can significantly improve acceleration from a standstill and optimize planing. By correcting the outboard’s angle relative to the water, you reduce ventilation and allow the prop to bite more effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjust up to 4 inches vertically for better prop immersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inches of setback moves the prop away from the transom for cleaner thrust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-bolt adjustment prevents binding and eases on-the-water tuning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLight 24 lb plate minimizes added weight aft of the boat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this plate fit my engine and transom mounting pattern?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis jack plate includes a common pre-drilled bolt pattern intended for 1\/2\" stainless mounting hardware and many long-shaft outboards.

It is particularly useful for those seeking a lightweight, pre-drilled retrofit that accommodates common bolt patterns and allows straightforward vertical tuning. If you routinely experience poor holeshot, require more prop immersion, or want the flexibility to test different motor heights without a permanent transom modification, this jack plate provides a practical, serviceable solution.\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: How much vertical travel does the jack plate provide?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The VEPURLT jack plate provides up to 4 inches of adjustable vertical movement, plus 4 inches of setback for repositioning the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the plate come pre-drilled for common outboards?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, it has pre-drilled holes for 1\/2\" stainless hardware with top 12 7\/8\", bottom 9 7\/8\", and 8\" vertical spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"VEPURLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48031057576097,"sku":"B0899XW6KR","price":463.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6532\/5729\/files\/vepurlt-front-facing-jack-plate.jpg?v=1791421201","url":"https:\/\/canadiansporting.ca\/products\/vepurlt-jack-plate-aluminum-adjustable-4-outboard-motor","provider":"Canadian Sporting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
