I see that the BassCat store has the 8” Detwiler Hydraulic Jackplate on sale for over $500 off retail price…My Caracal seems like it could really benefit with one over the manual Jackplate or came with…Question: What is the quality of these jackplates and are they worth the $$…Thanks, Tim

The ones on the store are the 4 bolt models made for competitive boat brands, also at a very nice price helping clear them out for SeaStar. They are nice products and are not recommended for a Bass Cat. They also do not include a gauge and Smart Stick on those models.If the website is not correct in the description then it will be and Bass Cat will honor any orders prior to the error being corrected. Bass Cat plates are 6 bolt and the all include a gauge and Smart Stick sending unit. Online jack plates listed on all sites we know of do not include gauges in their pricing. The same holds true for competitors plates as they don’t include gauges either.

Well that’s strange because the web site shows it a 6 hole mounting? Correct me if I’m wrong…Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We would buy it now while the price is below cost, because it won’t be come Monday. BCB

Wow, thats a steal, er, deal for now. Ive got an older Detwiler 2006 model hydraulic jackplate on my boat. Still going strong. Ive heard not to leave jackplate all the way up while trailering as it may cause the push rods to wallow out their cylinders creating some slop. Weve never done that so I cant say one way or the other.Other than that, its good overall imho. And at that “limited time offer”, hard to pass up………….

See note in the upper boxes and what these plates should be in the notations and description. That description and price will be honored till the description box is repaired to note the SeaStar standard plates. That price is a steal while the regular price for the standard plates is a great buy.
