- We've learned from this one. What started as a quick test turned into having to spend more later on for a proper jack plate. Here is what to look at when shopping for your first jack plate.
This jack plate is going onto a Tracker 190 TX, 175 TX and 195 TX will have similar requirements.

► TH Marine 65012 Jack Plate: amzn.to/3W5YS1h
► I'd maybe consider this one - still no mention of material grade! It does have rounded corners and is anodized: amzn.to/3xvfMgh

What do we think? Do the cheap jack plates still have a place?
Thank you.
I had a Vance manual jack plate on my old boat and I have a TH marine Z lock on my current boat. Both did fine but I like the Vance better because it was easier to adjust. A Hydraulic jack plate is the way to go. I will be switching to a Bob's Hydraulic plate soon.
Vance makes good stuff too! I'd like to dabble with a hydraulic as well
I have a Z Lock on my Phoenix, my second one. I personally think the Z Lock is junk. Extremely difficult to adjust. And no where do they tell you the bolts are actually threaded into the inner portion. I just adjusted mine, not too bad since I have dealt with them before. I really like the Slidemasters, easy to adjust and well made.
@eddiepayne8533 I do agree that a height indicator of some sort would be pretty handy. Seems to adjust fine though, but i don't have a big motor.
Great timing! Thank you for this video-I have thought about a Hydraulic Jackplate, but I really do not need because I plan on setting it and leaving the adjustment there, but I might change motors in the future. I have a 17’ Boston whaler Montauk with a 60hp, so I am wondering if I can get by with the cheap?
There's another mid priced one I linked in the description which may fit what you need.
Thank you!
Dang engineers, using all them big words!!
Ha!
