I am planning to install a jack plate on my Outrage, but not sure which make and what set back to use. I see that I can go from 4" up to 12". Since this will move the center of buoyancy toward the stern, I also plan to move the two batteries into the console as an offset. I don't want to do this using Kentucky windage so I am looking for some reference to the center of buoyancy for the boat, from which to calculate. Where can I find that information?

Also what experience has anyone had when installing a jack plate, right now I am thinking of the SeaStar with a 4" set back (minimum rearward movement). The motor is a 150 HP HPDI, two stroke Yamaha, which weighs in at 500#.
Thx
