Bob's Machine Action Series 4" Jack Plate - Black Powder Coat
Bob’s Machine Action Series Jack Plate with black powder coat finish is built for boaters who want strong hydraulic lift, fast response, and a clean, blacked-out rigging look. Designed for modern outboards up to 300 HP and over 625 lbs, this plate delivers approximately 7.5" of total lift to improve holeshot, shallow-water performance, and overall efficiency.
This model uses the proven Action Series integrated pump design, with the hydraulic pump housed inside the jack plate itself. That saves space inside the boat, reduces rigging clutter, and simplifies installation compared to systems with a separate pump mounted in the bilge. The black powder coat finish adds a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that pairs perfectly with today’s black outboards and accessories.
Stronger holeshot and lift – 1.5" of built-in lift plus 6" of hydraulic travel (about 7.5" total) helps your boat get on plane faster, carry heavy loads, and run at the right attitude.
Cleaner rigging with internal pump – The hydraulic pump is built into the jack plate, freeing up interior space and eliminating the need to mount a separate pump and run long hydraulic lines.
Improved shallow-water and rough-water control – Raise the engine for skinnier water or lower it for more bite and stability in chop, all from the helm with push-button hydraulic control.
Durable black powder coat finish – The black coating adds an extra layer of protection while giving your transom a sleek, factory-custom look.
Made in the USA – Built in Bob’s Machine Shop’s facility with the same attention to detail that has made their jack plates a favorite among serious anglers and performance boaters.
| Compatibility | Bob’s Machine Action Series Jack Plate - Black Powder Coat is a great fit for: Bass boats and tournament rigs Bay and inshore fishing boats Multi-species and walleye boats Other outboard-powered hulls that benefit from setback and adjustable engine height It’s ideal for boaters who want on-the-fly engine height adjustment, improved shallow-water capability, and better speed and efficiency from a properly tuned engine height—all with a stealthy black powder-coated finish. |
| Installation | The integrated pump design streamlines rigging and frees up interior space, but installation still requires safely lifting and supporting the outboard, aligning the jack plate on the transom, and properly torquing all mounting hardware. Many owners choose to have a qualified marine technician perform the install, especially with larger engines. This jack plate is engineered for outboards rated up to 300 HP and over 625 lbs, with support for engine mounting widths up to about 14.5". For engines with wider mounting patterns, consider Bob’s Extreme Gen3 series for proper fit and capacity. Always review the installation manual, verify the recommended setback for your hull, and confirm engine/boat compatibility before purchase. |
