How about this. Mounting the jack plate flush with the top of the transom will not work because the lower two bolt holes will run too low and end up into the bait well.
I could use longer bolts but the wall in the bait well is not wood. It is foam.
I will have to raise that jack plate up higher but than the top bolts get close to the top of the transom. I will use the transom saver.
Is mounting this jack plate as easy as raising the plate up and finding the center of the transom?
