Ok guys, after a lot of looking and trying not to break anything I was able to figure out what an 8 year old would have figured out before typing to you guys! lol at myself! The backs have velcro and well, that gives me access to the screws!So my next question, any tips on getting the rotten rubber grommets out without damaging the fiberglass around the edges?

I did forget to add, that the Jackplate was flush and had not been moved since the boat/motor left Cat in 03. I also forgot to add that I know 1″ is drastic! I understand that but was looking for a new starting place to work with.

Chris, valid question and here is my best guess as Im having the dealer look into this right now.Previous gear case – Lightning case was 1.71:1New gear case – 1.85:1Dont pretend to understand how much of a difference that makes but doing my best to answer your question. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help Chris! The Trophy that is on the boat is a 27″. I have a 26″ brand new in a box but I have to get it set for the Evinrude hub. I will ask my dealer about trying some props as well.

Ok BigCatter I dont pretend to have the back ground to argue or frankly agree with you. You clearly have more knowledge than I do on this subject so I have to ask, if I had more slippage wouldnt that make the rpms go up?Reason Im asking is if the prop isnt getting clean water I would get blow outs and high rpms right?I was worried that the Side Vision (Raymarine) transducer could be causing bad water flow to the prop but I “assumed” it would make for a higher rpm and the sound and feel of blow outs. I have gotten none of that.

That looks FANTASTIC!   What material did you buy for that.  I ordered some HDPE material for the trolling motor plate before I found the whole kit from BCB.  I was going to use the Marinco 70a 3 post option and build a new face plate.

The white with the stickers looks fantastic that you built!  Thanks for sharing the info!
