SeaStar Hydraulic Jackplate
Jackplate clearance checks MUST be completed after installation
and before use. Failure to adhere to this warning may result in the
loss of vessel control, leading to possible ejection from vessel
causing property damage, personal injury and/or death.
1. Starting with the Jackplate at its lowest position, verify full
steering travel through the entire trim range.
2. At the full down position, with the steering at center, CAREFULLY
tilt the engine and verify that no interference occurs as the
outboard engine is tilted. Check for interference between the
SeaStar Jackplate and the steering cylinder(s), tiebars, steering
hoses, outboard engine, engine hoses or any other components.
3. If any interference exists, action must be taken to do one of
the following:
a. Add a tilt limiter device to the outboard engine and ensure it
is set to prevent the engine from reaching a position where
interference is possible.
b. Move the engine up to a higher set of mounting bolt holes.
