Stronger holeshot and lift: 1.5" of built-in lift plus 6" of hydraulic travel (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 a separate pump and long hydraulic lines.
Your choice of setback: 4", 6", 8", 10", 12" or 14" to suit your hull and engine.
Two finishes: Silver, or gloss Black Powder Coat (4" to 10") for a blacked-out look.
Improved shallow-water and rough-water control: raise the engine for skinny water or lower it for more bite in chop, all from the helm.
Complete kit: includes wiring harness, relays and rocker-style switch.
Made in the USA by Bob's Machine Shop.

| 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. We recommend installation by a qualified marine technician, especially with larger engines. This jack plate is rated for outboards up to 300 HP and up to 625 lbs, with engine mounting widths up to about 14.5". For heavier or wider engines, choose Bob's Extreme Gen 3 series. Always review the installation manual, verify the recommended setback for your hull, and confirm engine and boat compatibility before purchase. |

Where is the hydraulic pump?
It's built into the jack plate itself, so there's no pump to mount inside the boat and no hydraulic hoses to run to the transom.
What's included?
The jack plate with its built-in pump, wiring harness, relays and a rocker-style switch.
How much lift does it give?
1.5" of lift built into the structure plus 6" of hydraulic travel, for 7.5" of total lift.
How do I choose the right setback?
Setback is how far the engine is moved back from the transom. Smaller setbacks suit lighter, faster hulls, while larger setbacks help heavier boats and rigs that benefit from extra lift and cleaner water to the prop. The right choice depends on your hull, engine weight and how the boat is loaded. If you're unsure, check your boat manufacturer's recommendation or contact us with your boat and engine details.
Can I use it in saltwater?
Yes. It's built from marine-grade materials, and the powder coat adds another layer of protection. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and inspect it regularly.
What is the warranty?
Bob's Machine Shop covers the structure with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and the Action pump with a 3-year warranty.
