I installed the Atlas Micro Jacker to increase the performance of my outboard motors. I run two different motors on my boat which made this install allot more complicated than it should have been. I run both a gas Mercury motor as well as the ePropulsion Navy 6.0 electric outboard motor on my Lowe 1448 jon boat. Most of the reservoirs and lakes around here are restricted to electric motors only but I do get to break out the Mercury 9.9 when I hit the local rivers. The main driver for installing this jack plate is to raise up the ePropulsion motor since it sits too low which is reducing the efficiency and performance of the motor. Regardless of the many obstacles with this install I was able to document and show you how I got it all done. In the end it came out awesome!!! I'll be testing BOTH motors on the water to see if the performance changed so subscribe to the channel so you don't miss out.
