Outboard Motor Jacking Plate 6 – Easy Adjust & Versatile from Absolute Marine gives you precise control over engine height for outstanding performance in real-world conditions. This is the Original Z-Lock Jack Plate, built to stay reliable when the water gets choppy and the load gets heavy.

What makes this jack plate unique?

• Top-of-jack adjustment for quick, tool-free height changes without crawling under the boat. Fine-tune your stance on the fly to squeeze out more acceleration, efficiency, and control.
• 254 mm setback (about 10 inches) and 127 mm vertical adjustment (about 5 inches) give you a broad range to dial in optimal trim, stance, and planing characteristics across different loads and water conditions.
• Universal compatibility for V4 and V6 outboards up to 350 hp, including engines with dual steering and up to 90° tilt. Designed to handle real-world engines and configurations without compromising strength or reliability.
• Pre-drilled bolt patterns ensure straightforward installation on a wide range of installations, so you can bolt it on with confidence rather than improvising fitment.
• Short side mounts to the transom; long side to the engine for a balanced, robust setup that resists flex and maintains alignment under load.
• Built to handle chop and heavy engines with a rugged TH-style bracket design that keeps the motor steady in rough water while preserving performance.

Why this matters on the water

With the Outboard Motor Jacking Plate 6, you can dramatically improve out-of-the-hole acceleration and early planing. The ability to precisely raise or lower the motor translates into faster acceleration, better mid-range torque, and a higher top-end speed when conditions permit. Proper height settings also contribute to more efficient fuel use, since the propeller operates at an optimal angle across a wider trim range.

Who benefits

• Rough-water or chop-prone boats that demand a stable engine mounting to reduce bow rise and porpoising.
• Owners pushing heavy V-4 or V-6 outboards up to 350 hp who want consistent performance regardless of load or water conditions.
• Boats that need quick, on-the-water adjustments for fishing, tubing, or sport runs where response time matters.

Installation and maintenance

Absolute Marine engineers designed this jack plate for straightforward installation with common transom patterns. The top-access adjustment means fewer trips under the motor, and the robust construction minimizes flex over time. Regular inspection of mounting bolts and cleaning of the aluminum surfaces will keep the unit performing reliably across seasons.
