Installed your 6” setback manual jack plate on my Ranger Z185. The fit was great, holes for both transom and motor were perfectly aligned. Fairly easy installation. Would recommend your product to others. Thanks.
In stock item was shipped super fast and Mr. Vance was very helpful with my question and selection. This is my second purchase from your company and I am very happy with the quality of your products and service
Very happy with the jack plate. I was looking for a very minimal setback but need the adjustability for my jet outboard. I can raise it up when I am running a very shallow rocky bottom river or lower is a bit if I decide to take the boat on a choppy water lake to avoid air cavitation in the jet pump.
Quality product with good machine work. Well thought out but could use small shocks to control travel and rate of motion instead of chains.
Fast shipping, great customer service answering questions before purchase. Everything went together as planned. Quality product. Couldn't be happier!!
Vance Kick & Jack: A durable and superior product that increases the performance of your vessel while extending the life of your outboard. I will always will use this product on my rigs!
