We have had success when installing a TurboSwing with jack plates before. When installing with a jack plate, installation is even simpler. You will not have to drill through your transom. Instead, you would drill through the jack plate if your jack plate didn't already have accommodating holes. Please send us an email at info@turboswing if you would like to see photos and dimensions as well to give you a better idea if it would work for your specific set up.
