Author	Topic:   engine bracket - jackplate
SpeedyWhaler	posted 03-31-2002 08:05 PM ET (US)         I am looking for a small light weight jack plate with setback or an engine bracket such as the one seen on cetacea page 28 '13 alert dive boat'. Can a setback reduce or increase porposing? Does a setback defeat the purpose of trim tabs? What does a boat tend to do if the setback is too far? Anyone know what a rig like this weighs? Thanks for any info.
