Abstract
A variable multiple engine jack plate, comprising, in combination, a motor plate, a pair of center plate connectors, a pair of outer slides and a pair of inner slides. There is at least one hydraulic cylinder coupling the motor plate and the slides. There is a hydraulic pump system having a pump and a hydraulic fluid flow control valve and a hydraulic fluid reservoir holding a volume of hydraulic fluid.
Claims13
A variable multiple engine jack plate, comprising, in combination:
- a motor plate having a generally rectilinear configuration with a proximal surface which mounts toward a boat transom and a distal surface which is located away from the boat transom, with a thickness between the proximal motor plate surface and the distal motor plate surface, forming an edge, with the edge running the periphery of the motor plate, the edge comprising an upper edge and a lower edge and a pair of like-configured side edges;
- a two piece center plate connector comprising a right center plate connector and a left center plate connector, the right center plate connector and left center plate connector being discontinuous, the two pieced center plate connector being coupled to the motor plate;
- a motor mounting subassembly comprising a pair of outer slides being a right outer slide and a left outer slide with each of the outer slides being slidably coupled to the motor plate, and a pair of inner slides being a right inner slide and a left inner slide with each of the inner slides each being slidably coupled to the center plate connector;
- the motor plate having a plurality of mounting holes therethrough, with the motor plate having a plurality of travel stop mounting holes therethrough, the motor plate having a plurality of symmetrically located center plate connector holes therethrough, the plurality of symmetrically located center plate bolt holes located on the motor plate allowing for variable coupling of the right and left center plate connector to the motor plate for different size outboard engines;
- at least one hydraulic cylinder with each cylinder having a case and a ram and a ram pin hole therein, the hydraulic cylinder being coupled to the motor plate and the motor mounting subassemblies, each hydraulic cylinder case having a pair of fluid lines coupled thereto;
- and
- a hydraulic pump system having a pump and a hydraulic fluid flow control valve and a hydraulic fluid reservoir holding a volume of hydraulic fluid.
