Manual CMC Power-Lift Jack Plate, 5-1/2" Setback

Never used one and have never installed one. Very easy to install. Very heavy duty. Up to 300hp. Test ran it several times to get the right height with my prop. Gained about 6mph on top end and excellent hole shot.

Hi, My new jack plate is a thing of beauty but my mechanic informs me that I don't have enough clearance to tilt the engine with my hynautic hydraulic steering. He says that every time I needed to tilt the engine I would have to crank the jack plate up to its maximum, then re set it for running. My boat is a 22' Velocity with a 200hp Johnson. Any ideas? I know if anybody is at fault it is me. Is this returnable? The heavy duty shipping box is gone. Should I mount it on my wall as a reminder to look before I leap? Thank you. Steve
