    Installing raptors

    I have a Z-lock manual jackplate. It doesn’t appear that the holes line up with the raptor brackets. There are two bolts at the top, with one at the bottom…not lining up. Anyone run into this issue before?

    It sounds like you're jackplate Will not accept any type of Jack plate bracket.You're only options or to either buy a bracket that will fit between a jack plate and a transom or buy a new jack plate that will accept your type of bracket. I do not recommend trying to drill holes in the jackplate because it could create stress cracks. This is not good because of the force of the outboard that is placed on the bracket.

    Got it figured out. Was able to buy power pole jackplate adapters that will fit the Raptor.
