Manual jack plate

Came across a deal I can't refuse on a long shaft small outboard (9.9).
Small river boat.
Researched some jack plates and seem overpriced for what they are. Most were fixed height, stationary rigs.
Would rather have some options. Especially being I'm new to the motorized game.
I can make one. I have no doubt about that.
I'm just not sure of the stat side of things.
Prob be 2 weeks bf I get started. And even then it'll be a sprawled out questionnaire.
I'll be posting all my questions here and'll appreciate any tips/suggestions.
Be more appreciative of "hey, you're an idget if you don't do this".

Exteding a transom is not a really big deal for 10hp motor. Google it and you will get a bunch of ideas. If you are doing this to an aluminum boat join tinboats.net and search the forums there for many ideas.

There is one stationary the sell just for that size motor. It can be installed to lower short shaft or raise long shaft. Has several holes where you mount to boat. It sets it back just enough to help with lift. You just want cavitation plate even with bottom of boat. Not awake enough to research right now. Let's go fishing.

Thanks y'all for replies.
Decided to skip on the 9.9
And went with a lil older Yamaha 25 short shaft. Saved a couple hundred bucks in the process.
Boat should fly when done.

I have the same motor on a 1648 alum hull and love mine. Very easy on gas can make 2 to 3 trips on 6 gal of gas. My 12v 34# thrust trolling motor has plenty of power and 1 battery will last longer than I want to stay. After seeing yours idle on the vidio, I'm gonna have to tune my carborators abit.

Forgot to ask what year is yours, mine is a 1999 model?

Nice, thx for the comment.
I'm ten yrs ahead of you, mines an '89. Dry weight is 100 lbs and the oil injection system has been bypassed on mine

On my electric start 25 hp Yamaha I installed a Bob's trim and tilt plate as my motor is a short shaft on a G3 1648 Jon and can trim it out as well as go super shallow by trimming up. Way better than a CMC model and if you shop the internet you can get one a few bucks cheaper than strictly off Bob's. Had it now 2 yrs using the heck out of and works like a charm.

So is mine. When the motor is installed on the trim and tilt plate it sets a inch or 2 higher than the transom but it also sits back about 5 inches and the roll of the water from underneath of the boat as it's moving is elevated over the bottom of the motor to compensate for the raised height. As you run you trim your motor and plane the boat out for a perfect run as well as better fuel savings plus increased speed of a couple mph. If you have electric trim and tilt, makes it super easy to untangle any line that may also get into the prop. Us old geezers can have a problem of lifting that motor up while on the lake. :Rofl

Ahh I see what you're getting at. They do look nice but a lil outta my price range. That's a good bit more than I paid for the motor.
Maybe one day.....
