    Adding a hydraulic jack plate to my SHO 250 on a 2016 21ft FXLE

    Any suggestions on what to buy?

    DETWILER / Hands down. I had one on my Norris Craft with a 250xs on it. Worked great

    Bob's seems to get a lot of positive comments and if/when I go hydraulic that will be my choice.

    Bobs for sure, it is a single solid built unit unlike an atlas which is channel pieces bolted together to make the right setback size and they will flex. Bobs is a little faster as well.

    Bobs. And not even close.
    We’ve rigged hundreds of hydraulic plates, every brand. Bobs is far more reliable.

    Go with a Bob’s. I had issues with the atlas harness twice, and the relays going bad on the harness. Board sponsor Hydrilla Gear directed me to switch out with a bobs harness, so I ordered and haven’t had anymore issues. The bobs harness looked like twice the quality of the atlas. Also, I haven’t been impressed with the customer service at TH Marine. The Atlas looks nice, but that is all that it has on the Bobs. For function, the Bobs is better in every category. Too bad that most manf just default to the Atlas, because I would much rather have the Bobs.
