Bob’s Jackplate Install

2869 Views 39 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  jonny
Can some of you that have a Bob’s post photos of your remote tank and pump locations and tips/recommendations if you have any? Any of you with an HPX Tunnel or HPX-T and this JP would be even better. Mine will be here Wednesday and I want to have a game plan ready so I can knock it out with no issues or trips to pick up parts.
Thanks

No splash well, I’ll just run the hoses through the rigging tube, I have room. I don’t like drilling holes in my boat if I can avoid it.

Do an install thread with pics for us when it comes in.
I will do that. I can’t find one anywhere so it’s time someone does. I’ll have it knocked out by Friday.

buddy's HPX-T has the pump and reservoir in the rear starboard side compartment.
That’s most likely where I’m installing it. I have my fuel filter/ water separator mounted in the transom inside there so I’ll probably mount it next to it.
Keep them coming.
This was just a feeler thread to see who would help a brother out. I know where and how I’m going to mount the reservoir and pump. Thanks Boatbrains and Tailchaser!
I’ll post an install thread after I finish the job.

I already have a blinker switch, I was looking for photos of how and where you guys mounted the pump and reservoir. Thanks though! o_O:D
Not a problem, I know you were trying to help. The blinker switch is on the left side of the helm so I can adjust JP while steering and trim while hammering down. I put the Lenco dual switches where I can adjust them with my fingers and not let my hand off the binnacle.
That is exactly how my Cayenne is set up works great. my telflex blinker switch tends to stick in the up position some times I have blown a fuse for the jp once already not sure if that is a common problem on it.
Yep, two trips ago I was washing my boat and hit the switch up and it stuck. I couldn’t hear it running because the motor was running on the hose and it burned up the up relay. I’m going to address that issue when I install the Bob’s.

Smack. What plate are you or were you using?
I finished the install last night. Had a few Shiner Bocks after, worked the bubbles out of the system, had a few more Bocks then saw some noob trying to tell me what to post on here and had to have some fun.
It’s a Tran Sport compression plate custom fit by me. I don’t like the way they cut them from the shop, they leave the plate too far back and it kills the efficiency.
