Vertical Jacks & Extensions for Outboard Jets
At Vance Manufacturing, we believe that every fisherman should have the opportunity to excel, which is why we offer high-quality outboard jet jack plates for our more niche customers whose needs may not be met with our standard prop jack plates. Our vertical jacks provide outboard motor lift for anglers operating jet engines. We encourage all boaters to include a vertical transom extension bracket or traditional jack plate with their engine setup in order to optimize your boat's performance in speed, handling and fuel economy, which is why we've designed these outboard jet jack plates. An outboard motor extension bracket like this can also provide an extra layer of protection to your jet engine, potentially saving you thousands of dollars on a damaged outboard.
FAQs About Vertical Jacks & Extensions for Outboard Jets
What Is an Outboard Engine Jet Jack Plate?,

An extension bracket moves your motor farther away from the hull, placing it in less turbulent water. This increases the power the motor can exert on the water, improving performance and fuel efficiency. It also helps keep it out of the flow of debris coming off of the hull, protecting your motor.,
