My 6in detwiller hydro plate is unlevel. One ram is about 1in higher than the other. Functions fine still goes up and down but isnt straight. I am looking for a new plate. Will probably just go with manual. I have duel talons with a 225 opti. My talons have the sandwich brackets for add about an inch on setback. Should I stick with a 6in plate or go with an 8in? Thanks

8" or 10" will perform the same. Definitely get rid of the 6".
8" atlas and you will be happy.
My old Detwiler was my first jackplate. It measured 7 in off the transom. I also had the sandwich plate for my stbd mounted power pole. I replaced it with a 10" atlas and side mount adapter for power pole because Mercury does not recommend anything between motor and jackplate/transom.
