I was wondering if anyone was using a Jack Plate on a Montauk. I seem to remember a post somewhere about the prob running in clean water, etc. Anyone know the pro's and con's? Thanks |

I ran a '78 Newport (same hull as Montauk) with a Bob's Machine MJ-5 (manual jack - 5" setback) and a 90 hp 3 cyl Merc (engine up about 2-3") and it worked great. My objective was shallow water running on plane and it did this well and also handled great! I ran a 20" Quicksilver "High-5" stainless prop and a "Doel-Fin". If you use a jack-plate check first that the two wet-well drain plugs are not blocked... Happy Whalin'. Clark.. The Old Man and the Sea |

I also think there are some pictures in Cetacea of a Montauk with a jack plate. |

I have a 78 Montauk and installed a Springfield Jack Plate which has a 6" set back. Im curently running a 70 hp yammy set-up and run it up 2-3" and turn either a 13.25x15 SS raptor prop or a stock 13.25x17 aluminum one depending on what I'm doing. Hole shot is good with both props and I can attain 35.5 & 38 MPH at WOT. Fuel economy is great and so is the handling. I really like this set-up. Hope this helps. Marc |

Marc, Exactly the kind of information I wanted. I have ordered a Jack Plate from Cook Mfg. (CMC) with a 5 1/2 inch set bach. They seem to be the leader and I got an excellent price from them. Thanks to all |

Just got a used Montauk with the CMC jack plate and noticed that it had to be notched to fit over the splash well drain holes. |
