Mount Swim Ladder Jack Plate on OUTRAGE 22

Postby heatxcape » Thu Jan 25, 2018 5:19 pm

I would like to add a swim ladder and possibly a 10-inch engine bracket to my 1989 OUTRAGE 22. I am concerned about lack of space as I have 12-inch trim tabs that are close to the engine and don’t offer much space for swim ladder.

Can I get some pictures to show how boats have mounted a swim ladder and possibly as jack plate? Anyone have pictures to share?

If you are going to mount an Armstrong or setback bracket, you may need to move the tabs to the far outward edges. Placement of the actuators may require modifying the platform.

Since you have already installed TRIM TABS on your Boston Whaler OUTRAGE 22, perhaps you could show us a picture of your installation. A picture of your boat transom will be useful for readers to contribute assistance to you. Without seeing where and how you have already installed the trim tabs, it will be rather hard to know how to recommend to you the installation of other items on the transom.
