T-H Marine Z-Lock 8" Set Back Manual Single Adjust Jack Plate – JPZ-8-DP
The T-H Marine Z-Lock 8" Set Back Manual Jack Plate (JPZ-8-DP) is designed for boaters who want maximum setback and precise engine height control without the added cost or complexity of hydraulic systems. Ideal for performance-focused and shallow-water applications, this manual jack plate allows you to fine-tune engine height to improve hole shot, top-end speed, and overall handling.
Equipped with Z-Lock™ single-adjust technology, the jack plate securely locks the outboard engine in place to prevent slippage during high-speed runs or under heavy loads. The 8-inch setback provides increased leverage and improved hull balance, enhancing propeller efficiency and allowing better trim and lift. Constructed from high-strength aluminum and finished in a polished aluminum coating, the Z-Lock jack plate offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Proudly made in the USA, T-H Marine Z-Lock jack plates are trusted by anglers and performance boaters for their strength, reliability, and straightforward adjustability.

Key Performance Features

Z-Lock Interlocking Design: This plate features a unique interlocking side rail design that eliminates the side-to-side movement and vibration common in lesser manual plates.1 It provides the rock-solid strength of a permanent mount with the flexibility of a jack plate.

Summary for the User
The Z-Lock 8" is the ideal "set-it-and-forget-it" choice for boaters who want to optimize their engine height without the cost of a hydraulic system. The 8-inch setback is particularly effective on larger bass boats or performance hulls that need more bow lift to reach their maximum potential.
Installation Tip: When mounting the plate to your transom, always use high-quality marine-grade sealant in the bolt holes to prevent water intrusion. To find the perfect height, adjust the plate in 1/4-inch increments and monitor your water pressure and GPS speed during testing.
