So this happened to me, the boat I had the past 5 seasons I bought not knowing it was a longshaft on a short shaft boat... Took it out the first time. I've never experienced so much water coming over the back, it was like Niagara Falls. No joke.
Went home called a few people did some googling and come up with asking myself "jackplate? What's that?". More Google and I went and bought one, at first I was trying to make one but I wanted to be able to adjust it on the fly if need be so I went and bought one. It was a good investment and worked well for shallow water running. Great addition to any duck boat or fishing boat. They are not cheap.
