My TNT has been giving me fits. Sent to 5star for repair, gonna need to send it back again. So I'm thinking maybe just bite the bullet and get a hydraulic JP. Question is this : should I be worried about not having the tilt & trim function? I would have to manually lift motor to trailer which isn't a big deal but the trim portion for performance is a concern. Thoughts and thx in advance
Not sure I understand the question. All hydraulic jackplates will have trim and tilt.
Maybe I'm not seeing that on Bobs or CMC. THe only ones i read with tilt/trim functions are only rated to 130hp/430 lbs. Everything else is a simple up/down function of lift, no tilt. Am i mistaken?
I'm pretty sure CMC has different models depending on what size the motor is. All of the ones I have seen have T&T.

I have looked thru several manufacturers and I guess I'm not seeing the TNT function of the jackplate. Can someone include a link?
Thx much
I have looked and the biggest I can find (CMC) is 130 hp. Can you get yours rebuilt? I would surely think there is some out there. I see Bobs and Atlas for the lift but you are correct none of them say T&T. Sorry not much help.

Yep, 5star already worked on it. They have a 2yr warranty and I have spoke with the owner, he's more than willing to do what it takes. I was just thinking with this dinosaur maybe I would benefit to go with a JP now instead of waiting if I'm gonna have nothing but more troubles. But like i said, I need tilt
I think in most situations the tilt and trim is separate from the jackplate. You would typically mount your current tilt and trim(attached to your motor) to the jackplate.
What I was originally thinking. So there goes that idea
You are not mistaken. I thought my atlas was all one unit, but it is separate.Originally Posted by kansassteelers
