It gives you a flexibility. Say you load the boat with fuel, live wells full, coolers full and a 220lb co-angler with 15 rods and 3 tackle bags. Maybe lowering the prop a little keeps you from struggling to get out of the hole. Next day you decide to hit the lake by yourself, now you can adjust the prop shaft back up to where you normally keep it. No wrenches required... Dan
That's a plus!
I found that to be the opposite , heavy load I would jack my motor up as far as it can go then as soon as on plane start to drop it back down to your correct water pressure , when running in big time turned up water I would bury the motor so the prop is in cleaner water.
With a hydraulic plate you can get on plane without ever having the bow point so high you can't see ... it is just some seat time then you don't even have to think about it you just move the motor up and down when needed.
No disrespect Dan just saying how it works for me.
