Ok.... I'm going to install my own jackplate, hopefully this weeken, and here's
what I plan on doing.... please fill me in on anything that is wrong.....
thanks in advance! George

03 Skeeter SX180 w/Yamaha 130 (motor is mounted in the 3rd of 4 holes)
Hydrodynamics 7" manual jackplate

- Level the boat to the ground (from the pad to the ground) and measure the
distance
- Level the motor to the ground (from the cavitation plate to the ground) and
measure the distance between the center of the propshaft and the ground
- Subtract the motor measurement from the boat measurement
- Unbolt the motor from the transome and support it
- Silicone the bolts and holes
- Bolt the jackplate to the transome using transome washers
- Mount the motor to the jackplate
- Set the motor to the original height
- Adjust the motor height 1/4" at a time until the RPM's increase but the top
end doesn't

Questions

What hole should I use to mount the motor to the jackplate?

Am I measuring and subtracting right?

What range should I keep my waterpressure?
