T-H Marine: Pioneering Innovation in Jack Plate Technology
T-H Marine has established itself as the dominant force in the jack plate market through groundbreaking engineering and a commitment to solving real-world boating challenges. T-H Marine revolutionized recreational boating with this first-to-the-market, full production jack plate, and the company has continued that legacy of innovation with products that are now factory-installed by more boat manufacturers than any competing brand.
The Atlas Hydraulic Jack Plate: Industry-Leading Performance
The flagship Atlas series represents T-H Marine's most significant contribution to hydraulic jack plate technology. Designed to accommodate engines up to 300hp and 625 lbs. dry weight, the standard Atlas features innovative, high-tech engineered polymer rod and slot-lifting design that delivers exceptional reliability. What sets this system apart is its self-contained hydraulic system is built directly into the plate, so there are no separate pumps or reservoirs to mount inside the boat, resulting in cleaner installations and faster operation that raises engines from bottom to top in about eight seconds.
T-H Marine pioneered several jack plate innovations that competitors later adopted. The Atlas was the FIRST to offer an actuator inside the jack plate, the first to provide pre-drilling for shallow water anchors, and the first and only plate that did not require regular grease lubrication. The Atlas also introduced a heavy-duty safety cable to protect boaters and simplified field actuator replacement, establishing new standards for the entire industry.
Heavy Duty Atlas: Built for Maximum Power
For anglers running the most powerful outboards in demanding conditions, T-H Marine offers the Atlas Heavy Duty series. T-H Marine Atlas Heavy Duty Jack Plates now caters to even larger outboards, with a capacity to support engines up to 400 horsepower, extending the Atlas platform to handle the latest generation of high-output V8 engines. The Atlas comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame and a 3 year warranty on the pump and actuator, demonstrating T-H Marine's confidence in their engineering and construction quality.
Manual Jack Plates: Proven Simplicity
Beyond hydraulics, T-H Marine continues to manufacture their legendary Hi-Jacker manual jack plates. The Hi-Jacker™ Jack Plate by T-H Marine has set the standard in recreational boating since 1980, recognized for its durability and innovative design. Made from tough 3/8" aircraft aluminum, these plates offer four inches of setback and vertical adjustment for V-4 and V-6 engines. T-H Marine also produces the Pro Hi-Jacker, CMC manual plates, and the Z-Lock series, providing options across the horsepower spectrum from small outboards to 400HP applications.
