Jackplate

[fuzzy]

I have a slidemaster on my boat.It dont leak it pours fluid out.So I put a CMC I was givin on it it leaks to.Leaks out the fitting that screws in the side.I put teflon tape on it still leaks.Anyway looking for a new one.Your opinion on best new jack plate.

Hey i saw one on texasflats for sale.

I have a CMC on my skiff for 10 years with no problems other than relays. Maybe you could thread that screw hole larger and get a matching screw.....

When I asked this question a long time ago, everyone said Bob's was the best because the pump is not exposed to the salt water. I got a bob's, but haven't saved up enough to get it put on yet.

Atlas the best by far

On a small flats boat storage space is nonexistent, so I like the integral pump in the CMC.

I already have pump and motor mounted inmy boat.Wonder I can just get the plate and ram.

Add some SWAK to the threads and extra teflon and let it sit up over night. If ou dont have an SWAK add pipe thread compond. Just a shot in the dark that might work in a desperate situation!

It don't smell like chilli.May sound stupid but what is SWAK.

[corndog]

Its a pipe thread compond made by Swagelok. You sure the threads are matchings not an SAE thread with an o-ring. I would suspect you already checked that out being an ol Tug Boat Capt. Man I hate to see a bad thread kill the deal!! How abot drilling it out and using a thread insert to resize it. Let me know if you need some machine work done on it? BTW you called me today and when I answered all I could hear was someone taling in the background!! LOL

[fuzzy]

I aint had a phone since friday.Just got it back totay.If I called it was tring to get it to work.Stupid smart phones.

[fuzzy]

Truth is its the best boat Iv'e owened.Just put a new powerhead on it.So everything else is going to be new.So I can go out fish and not worry.Be something new for me.

[corndog]

Right on. I know the feeling I love my boat now. I never even think about it being dependable!! All I worry about is food,feul,beer and ice. I dont have to worry about what is half broke anymore just load up and go!! Easy to clean and ready to go for the next trip. Lets go fish together soon!

Did you get it figured out? I bought a new CMC HS online for 650.00 shipping included.

We have a Bob's 2+ years and no problems. Even after not using the boat and all after months at a time.
