8" Atlas Series Hot Shot™ Jack Plate Hole Shot Plate - Verado
REVOLUTIONARY. SIMPLE. UNIQUE. EXCITING. These are but a few of the comments coming from users of T-H Marine's HOT SHOT™ hole shot plates. This simple-but-revolutionary plate easily attaches to the bottom of our jack plate to provide an amazing 18 to 20 percent better hole shot. That is 2 to 3 seconds faster out of the hole. Hot Shot™ does this by dramatically reducing water drag on take off as well as serving as a center trim tab. An added advantage is the ability to stay on plane and virtually eliminating porpoising at lower speeds.
