Hardware and Tools Needed I go over the exact bolts, washers, sealant, and tools you’ll need before you start. Installing the Bob’s Hydraulic Jack Plate I show how to mount the jack plate correctly on the transom and get everything lined up. Wiring the Jack Plate Next, I wire up the hydraulic system and explain how I routed everything clean and safe. Reinstalling the Outboard Motor After the plate is installed and wired, I bolt the motor back on and check all clearances. Power Pole Brackets Made for Bob’s Jack Plate I also install the special Power Pole brackets designed specifically for this jack plate setup. Mounting the Power Poles Then we attach the Power Poles and make sure everything is solid and positioned correctly.
