2000 TR-21- Holeshot plate for Pro Hi Jacker 6" manual jack plate

[44Mag]

I have 2000 Triton TR-21 with a 6" Pro Hi Jacker manual jack plate and I have been searching for a holeshot plate that will fit it. I contacted TH Marine and was told that they do not make one for that jack plate, but I have seen several boats with the same jack plate that all had holeshot plates on them. Would any of you happen to know where I could get one from or a part number? Thank you in advance.

Im of no help as to where to find one. But i also have a 6inch pro hijacker and mine has the holeshot plate. Ill look when i get home and see if there is a part number on it. But, if you have a metal fab shop around you, you could probably get one made. They just are flat piece of aluminum with curled sides. Attached with 4 screws thru side of jackplate. Might be an idea.

Says out of stock but atleast you can see a picture.

That's interesting that at the bottom of that website, it says made by T-H Marine. I bet if you took one of those it would work, you would just need to drill and tap the four bottom mounting holes. You just tap them for a clean surface on the inside.
Weird they didn't say that, guess that.

Thank you everyone. It looks like it has been discontinued and my best bet is to just make one or have a local shop make it. Seems simple enough. Thank you for your help!

I have a piece of nice stainless sheet metal to make one for mine once I get a good motor height and a new or at least better prop for mine, which my rig is the same brand and size of jack plate as yours. Basically I have the same size of rig of yours as well.

The bigger the setback of the jackplate, the more these help. I have had a setup I helped a local with that I aired up a beach ball after I mashed inside the jakeplate with a can of the expanding foam insulation stuff.
It was a quick short lived look/see at how much it helped.
Was fabing up a plate a month later, we used just regular sheet metal for his, and then had it Powder coated to keep from rusting. The oil field areas have way above average places for that sort of thing with all the pipe work we have all sorts of coats they spray and cook on.

So if you fab up your own keep that in mind as well. I looked for a nice piece of aluminum around here when I first got this 2001 to rebuild, but I had already cut a big chunk off it. The stainless is not my first choice but what I have. It's that are another trip to wally world for spray foam and air up style Beach ball lol.

Darn shame we can't get those. So looking around I decided that one of the lids on my Bar-B-Q smoker cooker whatever it has to do, needs a new lid lol.
Just so happens to be the perfect size if I don't mess up the lips I have to break on it. Not any room for fudging up here.

Just starting out we will see if I can break the lips before I brush finish it. This more like black Smith job around my house now days. Not to forget it's exactly 100 degrees right now and I am hammering a break in this thing. I am getting to old for this when this darn hot outside.

Edit: Just going to add to this post as I hammer out this plate. I got the long lip broke that I was concerned about getting. So I just cleaned it up a little before breaking the two short lips to screw to the plate.

I plan to hammer a X-brace right through the middle once the short lips are broke. When doing things by hand and just black Smith things out, it's all about the right tools.

Chris Bailey was the one that made one for me. turned out great, looks like original equipment and even better it made a big difference improving my hole shot. I believe he is a sponsor on here.

Here is it finished and mounted. Yes it's a hammer finish, as mentioned I have just black smithed this out of a stainless lid I wanted to replace.
Nothing slick and fancy. I did decide to put a V-Brace on it instead of the X-Brace most common with stuff of this nature.
