Re: Manual Jack Plate
Hey Scott-
BE CAREFUL with the jackplate.....if you run the engine hard while it is in the high position, you can overheat or blow the motor. How do I know? My old Mako 20 had a hydraulic jackplate on it (COOK Manufacturing)and while trimming both the engine and the jackplate up....I overheated it and had to get it rebuilt through Monahans.
As far as transoms go...I am sure the core is wet/damp, especially considering the boats age. Dont worry almost all of them are...but as long as they're are no cracks indicating weakness and it is stable, you'll be fine.
Good luck.
