Hi Jack engine mounts

[Shane Bastick]

Does any body have experience using the Hi Jack outboard engine mounts, are they any good and are they suited better to certain tunnel hulls - as these mounts have a lot of adjustment, look good and are of great quality

Any comments or recommendations or experience with these mounts is greatly appreciated

thanks

Shane

i love them. excellent quality & adjustment. just be careful of what amount of setback is recommended for your hull. the hi jack has more than most......

Can you post a picture of the OS design?

Can you post a picture of the OS design?

I would venture to guess it looks the same, but has a metric sized hinge pin bore.

I'm keen to see if it is... If so it would have two pivot points correct?

What is the reason for wanting this for the OS? The OS comes with the best motor mount I have ever seen on any outboard sold. Not to knock Vic's stuff, because I have purchased 5 or 6 of his in the past number of years, and they are extremely nice, but the OS mount is as good as it gets (im my opinion of course). Just curious why you guys want to make the switch??

From the pics I've seen it will only allow up and down movement on the hi jack. The rest isthe OS mount.

Benefits I can see in Vic mount - you get that fine adjustment with the screw.

Disadvantage? Don't know if it's really a disadvantage but it will set the motor further back of the transom than it would normally sit. Will the prop shaft be too far back for your boat?? How much will it change your CG??

Hey Vic,

I think that if your OS one was just kind of the rear two plates. So that we could just make fine up and down adjustments. You would have a great little item for the OS lower that would sell like hotcakes. I do not think that we want to put the engine as far back as it would be with what you have pictured. But I could be wrong.

You do some nice work Vic. Keep it up buddy.

I don't see a significant enough reason for a mount like that. It would always give you

way too much set back and most of the competitive boats are critical on the set back anyway.

The only reason I would sacrifice the set back is to get a tilt adjustment ahead of the hinge pin so you could easily get the hinge pin vertical or slight tilt over using a shim. I have done this with the Precision Boats style and the Octura but I always had to modify the center pinch/pin block hole arrangement to bring that part back toward the transom.
