Thanks Wing, my thoughts entirely. I just needed to know if movement with the jack plate standard. I have seen a lot of posts about the plate installation and wanted to know if I was an isolated incident or the norm.

Wing, I was hoping to offset the motor to put in a splash board to prevent flooding in the back of the boat. A Whaler drive would have been perfect, but I am committed pretty deep right now to make this work. I have seen innumerable posts about Jack Plates and high performance. I do not give a hoot about "hole shots". My transom is low and guests get wet feet when drift fishing. Quite frankly. I do not think I would ever want to go 45mph in a boat.
