CMC or Bob Jack Plate ???

[Krazichink]

I am debating which hydraulic Jack Plate is best for my boat. I owned a Scout 187 sportsfishing center console with 150hp 4 stroke Yami and have problem getting into shallow area no less than 2' of water. I would love to hear from the boat owners of CMC and Bob Jack plate of the Pros & Cons. Where's the best place to purchase and install in Galveston area? If possible the average cost to own one. Thanks in advance. Merry Christmas to all.

Any jack plate will help. I like my 11 year old CMC just fine. I have a small skiff and no place for an external pump.

Bobs action jack is awesome fast and all contained unit with no external pump.

Bob's

I have owned both and my regular/external pump Bob's JP has given me ZERO issues. My displeasure with CMC was due to the dealer install. CMC claims that no lubrication is neccessary. I found that to be BS. I would have to hit it with WD40 after every trip to keep it running smooth.

My Bob's was installed by this little shop in Bacliff - Evans Marine - I think they're still around

PM evansmarine for a quote after you decide what you want.

Bobs all the way. Much faster than my old cmc.

I had a CMC jack plate on my Majek for 10 years and never had an issue with it.

Did CMC recently change ownership?
