    Rear tie down straps to jackplate?

    Does anybody have experience attaching the rear tie down straps to their jackplate instead of the eyelets?

    I’m pretty sure the gamblers come like that from the factory.

    Not experienced in this area, but if I had a Hydraulic plate, I would not hook to the motor side.

    My opinion, wish Bullets were made without the rear tie eyes and just have a couple holes in the jack plate to hook to.

    I would just use what is built into the boat they are already there and do the job.

    Agreed, but I’m thinking about having them deleted when I have the transom replaced.
