Jack plate for me jet outboard Very happy with the jack plate. I was looking for a very minimal setback but need the adjustability for my jet outboard. I can raise it up when I am running a very shallow rocky bottom river or lower is a bit if I decide to take the boat on a choppy water lake to avoid air cavitation in the jet pump.

Fast shipping but i thought it would be… Fast shipping but i thought or maybe i assumed it would be one 2 inch thick adapter plate and not 2 one inch plates that i was purchasing…because i already had 1 one inch plate and now i have three one inch plates…no where did it state 2 one inch plates that you bolt together…more detailed explanation of what you are purchasing is needed…

Package did not arrive UPDATE- Well the package finally arrived and the part works great. The VP of Vance did contact me back and offer to help should the package be missing for ten days which I appreciated. Revising review accordingly. Paid for expedited delivery on 12/2. As of today 12/5. Was never delivered. Need another sent. USPS tracking has no updates on status or expected date. Want another part overnighted through a private service like UPS.

The Vance mini jack plate worked… The Vance mini jack plate worked perfectly to raise my long shaft motor on a short transom long boat. I have already recommended the Vance mini jack plate to two people and will turn to Vance first if I ever need another jack plate.

A couple things were frustrating A couple things were frustrating, my jack plate was shipped out with missing parts, no installation instructions, and the shipped email notification was misleading. The email states " (#8290) was shipped via UPS, UPS® Ground on 9/12/2023". The only thing that occurred on that day was a shipping label was created and and for some reason it wasn't actually picked up until "SEPTEMBER 13 - 3:56 PM". Additionally the product was sold as an 5" setback, but doesn't give any indication that by selecting a 2 or 3 inch clamping board thickness this increases the setback. Pucks or a different option would be much better suited vs adding more heavy starboard and additional setback unless a customer needed that.
