That guy is a dumb well you get the picture. i have 2 at our shop that are 10years old that work just fine. You need to make sure its not bad relays or a fuse or the 40 amp breaker.

BOB'S..... that is what the dealership recommended when I bought my boat in 2005. I've had no problems.... I know absolutely nothing more about jackplates other than that. LOL Good luck !!GEORGE A. BRANARD, COLOR SERGEANT, CO. L, 1 ST TEXAS INFANTRY, HOOD'S TEXAS BRIGADE, C.S.A. : S.C.V.

I've had both Bob's and CMC. Never had a probem with either, but given a choice, I would choose the CMC high speed because the hydraulics are self contained and you don't have to grease it every 3 or 4 months.Honk if you love Jesus.
Text while driving if you want to meet him.

Go to the CMC website and down load the owners manual. Go through the trouble shooting section. I don't think the motor went out in 3years.
They electrical harness are crappy and relays go bad a lot.
Check all the electric
check the oil,
sometime it get air in the motor and acts up and you have to burp it

I've got a CMC jackplate that hasn't worked since I bought the boat. Wish I could afford a new one or even a good used one. It is stuck in the max up position but I would like for it to be even higher. I have a Bob's low water pickup on my engine and using the tilt controls I can run very shallow.Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

I had a CMC on my boat and the pump died very quickly too, now I have a Bob's and haven't had a problem since. I don't know if it is because of all the heat/humidity here in FL, but I think that having a electric motor sitting in the water is asking for problems no matter what.
Bob's all the way for now on for me They also give a lifetime warranty on their jack plate
