Barry	posted 05-15-2003 02:59 PM ET (US)             NH was referring to the manually adjustable plate with 6" of setback. You are correct that WM also sells the fixed (non-adjustable) unit with 4" of setback for $89.99. If you aren't in a hurry, I would watch eBay.
adaps4	posted 05-15-2003 08:31 PM ET (US)             I bought the Bob's Machine Shop mini jacker for my 40 horse Yamaha. It weighs 12 lbs, and has a 4 1/2" setback. I like the way it looks, and it seems to perform well. Of course, I won't see exactly how it performs until I get my carb rebuilt. BTW, it was $99.
