Hole Shot Plates

[90 5.0]

I just can'tsee how it would be an issue with your water pressure. I have a plate on my 6"JP on my Ranger 195vs with a 200 EFI and still have +20psi @ WOT.

Only way possible for it to cause problems is if he fabbed up some brackets for it to hang straight down and drag the water.

Plate shoukd be a foot out of the water on plane.

Running a holeshot plate and no pressure issue. I agree it should be way out of the water when on plane if it's not something is seriously wrong with his setup.

TH jp with a TH hsp. Nothing wrong with my set up.

Thanks for the responses.

Put the plate on it.

I'm fixing to either build one to fit the 12 inch slidemaster or order one from C and O Marine to fit mine. For me the benefits outweigh the not having it and on the Skeeter I really don't need it. My Bumble Bee benefited slightly but for me what it do was allowed a great place to mount the LSS2 transducer to and it be tucked safely out of the way on one of Scap's wedge mounting blocks...I wouldn't hesitate to put one on my boat..

Yeah, a GT52 transducer oughta fit right on the plate (sorry, couldn't resist). Probably get a foil and
maybe even 4 little basket balls to inflate inside the jp. (Give folks something else to ask me besides where the fish are bitin'. )
Again, thanks for all the responses.

where can you buy these plates?

[RangerRic]

I have a 6" Rapid Jack - they make a plate specifically designed for my JP. $52.95.

Your JP should not be anywhere near the surface when you are on plane.

100% Right. The holeshot plate can not lower water pressure. The motor has to be tooo high.
