I need to find something as well.....just bought a 15" rapid jack, and there is a lot of space to fill back there.

Basketballs or soccer ball work great.

Put a tape to the rapid jack it seems longer than 15"

should run way better.

how many do you put in?....and how do you fasten it to the jackplate?

I guess Ive missed something here......I think I know but I`ll ask anyway ......why do you need flotation in the jack ?????

The bumpers should wedge themselves when inflated.. You also can add these

With the 3 liter motors the back sits a little lower. They are supposed to help with back wash and hole shot plus keep the back an inch or two higher when fishing..
