When refurbishing an 82 Whaler with an old 70 hp OMC, I went to hang an F60 and the industry standards had changed for the mounting bolt pattern. Exhausted from filling holes, I opted for a Bobs Machine 5(“) in 1 manual jack plate. Weighs 24 pounds, drilled holes in plate to match older pattern in hull and mounted. One of the best days on the water took two 3/4” box wrenches out to the sand bar and just kept bringing it up til prop began surfacing, and then down some. Best $225 I ever spent, until replacing prop. Freaking Awesome!!!
Warning: May cause uncontrollable desire to upgrade prop.
