How you drive this thing? . . .
 

My friend just bought a new Pathfinder 2200TL, 150 Yam 4-stroke. It came with an electric jack plate. I have never driven one with that type of set-up. Can someone here give me some tips for driving while using the electric jack plate. He wants me to help him break it in Saturday. Thanks . . . . I have attached a pic . . .

Yup. This makes me nervous.

I believe the silver circle in the middle will determine the direction in which the boat travels. Also, the lever to the right of thr silver circle will make the boat go forward or backwards. Boats are much more efficient moving forward. The closer the lever is moved to the console, the faster it goes. :D

Sorry, couldn't help myself! Should just make the boat run shallower. Take the 12 pack and enjoy yalls selves. :)

You don't have to worry about it......there's a ford towing it, you'll never make it to the launch!!

Hahahaha.

LMBO. That's what I keep telling weewacker about his truck.

How bout "here, hold my beer and watch this!" . . .

Famous last words. Lol.

Lmbo!

just have to play with the jackplate to find the best spot while you are running. when Im offshore I leave mine lower in the water offshoe than I do inshore cause it will handle the waves better

Most of the time there is no reason to touch the jack plate unless you are running skinny. And like Meaux said, when it's rough put it all the way down.

Be careful of getting it too high when running. Strongly suggest a water pressure gauge.

Down for rough water, up for speed.

up for speed and running skinny

150 HP on a 22 ft. boat???

Its mostly for skinny water but also for more speed.Once your trimmed where you need to be then you start raising motor.Youll feel it run!
