    Flex in top cap on 2007 199LE

    I noticed the last time I had my 2007 199LE boat out, that the motor was bouncing some while running. When looking back while running you can see the top cap flexing some. I have an Atlas Jack plate on it. When it is on the trailer you can run the jack plate up and bounce the motor, the top cap is flexing. Is this normal with a jack plate? If not what could be the cause?

    Doesn't sound normal. I would have your transom inspected.

    Was the Jack plate recently added? Have you owned the boat for a while or new to you? Just now noticing it or just started flexing? Answers may make a difference, but in the end motor bouncing and top cap flexing is not normal.

    I pulled the gas tank out and checked. The knee braces are starting to break loose from the floor.
