T & R Marine

<h3>About T &amp; R Marine</h3><p>For more than five decades, <strong>T &amp; R Marine</strong> has been a go-to name for boaters who demand reliable, well-engineered marine accessories. Founded in 1970, the brand has built its reputation on a straightforward promise: deliver a complete line of quality products that hold up on the water, season after season. Whether you run a bass boat through shallow backwaters or a larger vessel on open bays, T &amp; R Marine has long offered the hardware and rigging components that keep boats performing at their best.</p><h3>A Legacy Built on Marine Know-How</h3><p>T &amp; R Marine's product catalog spans the critical systems that boaters rely on most — from outboard mounting hardware to steering components and maintenance tools. The brand's longevity in a competitive market speaks to its focus on practical, purpose-built products that installers and anglers alike can depend on. Rather than chasing trends, T &amp; R Marine has stayed consistent in its commitment to quality manufacturing and functional design across its entire range of marine accessories.</p><h3>Jack Plates &amp; Transom Hardware</h3><p>One of T &amp; R Marine's most recognized product areas is jack plates. A jack plate mounts between the transom and the outboard engine, allowing boaters to adjust the motor's vertical position — a critical factor for optimizing speed, fuel efficiency, and the ability to run in shallow water. T &amp; R Marine's jack plate offerings cater to anglers and recreational boaters looking for reliable transom hardware that makes a real difference in on-water performance.</p><h3>Steering Systems &amp; Components</h3><p>Precise, responsive steering is fundamental to safe and enjoyable boating. T &amp; R Marine's line of hydraulic steering products and mounting solutions reflects the brand's deep understanding of boat control systems. From mechanical steering components to mounting hardware, T &amp; R Marine provides the parts that keep boats tracking true and responding predictably, whether navigating a winding river or an open lake.</p><h3>Marine Maintenance Tools</h3><p>Keeping marine steering and engine systems clean and well-maintained is an often-overlooked part of boat ownership. T &amp; R Marine addresses this with purpose-designed <a href="/200207-brushes-t-r-marine-13064">brushes</a> — such as steering tube cleaning brushes intended for use with an electric drill — that make routine maintenance faster and more thorough. These small but essential tools reflect T &amp; R Marine's attention to the full lifecycle of a boat's mechanical systems, not just the headline components.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose T &amp; R Marine</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>Over 50 years of focused marine accessory manufacturing</li><li>Products spanning steering, transom hardware, and maintenance tools</li><li>Trusted by both professional installers and do-it-yourself boaters</li><li>Practical, purpose-built designs suited to real on-water demands</li></ul>

Product Details

The T & R Marine TE-218 Transom Elevator is a heavy-duty aluminum adapter that allows long shaft outboard engines to be mounted on boats designed for short shaft motors. This essential marine accessory raises your outboard motor 5 inches, providing the proper shaft length and propeller depth for optimal performance.

Key Features:

  • Constructed of durable 3/16-inch aluminum for long-lasting marine use
  • Raises engine 5 inches vertically to accommodate shaft length differences
  • 14 inches wide to provide stable mounting surface
  • Compatible with all clamp-on outboard engines up to 40 horsepower
  • Made in the USA for quality assurance
  • Hollow design reduces weight while maintaining strength

This transom elevator solves the common problem of mismatched engine shaft lengths and boat transom heights. By positioning your motor at the correct height, you'll ensure proper water intake, reduce cavitation, and achieve better overall engine performance. The robust aluminum construction provides reliable support while resisting corrosion in harsh marine environments.

Never actually used the item. Tried to cancel item before it was shipped. Was shipped anyway. Returned the item and was charged 44% fee which is $115 for a $263 item. Called multiple times. Was told by two different representatives that the manager would contact me, but never did. Last time I tried to call I was hold for 20 minutes got down to caller number 2 and was hung up on. Seems like they are only open a couple days a week. So, item is probably ok, but boatplicity is sketchy at best. I never really complain, but this really rubbed me the wrong way.
