The T-H Marine Z-Lock 4" Set Back Manual Jack Plate (JPZ-4-DP) delivers dependable engine height adjustment and improved on-water performance in a compact, lightweight design. Ideal for boaters who want precise tuning without the complexity of hydraulic systems, this manual jack plate allows you to dial in optimal engine height for improved acceleration, handling, and shallow-water operation.
Featuring Z-Lock™ single-adjust technology, the plate securely locks the engine in position, preventing slippage or movement during high-speed runs or heavy loads. The 4-inch setback improves hull balance and propeller efficiency while maintaining a minimal transom extension—making it a great choice for bass boats, bay boats, and performance-oriented outboard applications.
Constructed from high-strength aluminum with a polished finish, the Z-Lock jack plate offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Designed and manufactured in the USA, T-H Marine Z-Lock jack plates are trusted for their simplicity, strength, and reliable performance.
Z-Lock Design: Features unique interlocking Z-Lock side rails that eliminate side-to-side movement and vibration, providing the strength of a solid piece of aluminum.
Easy Adjustment: Unlike many manual plates, this model uses a single top-mounted adjustment bolt. You can raise or lower the engine quickly using a single wrench once the side locking bolts are loosened.
Heavy-Duty Build: Constructed from 1/2" aircraft-grade aluminum with a polished "DP" (Dolphin Polished) finish for maximum corrosion resistance and a premium look.
High Horsepower Rating: Despite its compact size, it is rated for outboards up to 300 HP, including heavy modern four-strokes.
