I have no space

Mine is exactly the same bud and fits and looks great. They used long bolts with spacers. So in effect the push plate presses against the spacers and the spacers against the hull...............capiche??

Hey Jean I have a 170 like yours they have put a push plate on. Z craft did it for me. They lower the steering ram and lower the step it goes just above that works pretty well. They reinforce the battery box so it's stronger.

What sort of diameter is that ring/socket on the push plate?

thanks, how many times have somebody cut their foot on that ss push plate getting on the boat

I'll call them tomorrow

Howzie · « **Reply #48 on:** January 22, 2014, 08:19:29 PM »

I'm not sure the exact diameter but it's quite wide. Takes a standard pole we use it at Mapelane and been fine. No one has kicked it or anything, the picture doesn't really show the true look it's actually out the way. Picture makes it look worse than it is. They do it for the F200 as well

Sorry Jaen changing the subject, are you running 90hp honda's on your boat?

yup, best decision I've ever made in my life.

You don't find them to heavy for the boat. I have heard the Hondas are brilliant, busy looking around at moment, worried it might be to heavy

Does the push plate have to be fitted in the middle or can it be offset? I've got a wheel for the forward launch mounted where the push plate would ordinarily go...

Any suggestions on where to fit a push plate?

we also fitted a thingey that we now can play our tunes via any wifi device

nope, perfect... I have moved my batteries forward in favor of a big live well at the back. But even with that full of water she behaves nice

Take a permanent marker and Mark inside that step you have there in the pic. It's directly on your transom so should be good

Not much space there. You going to have to move the step and ladder to get a push plate onto there but then the step might be to high

Thanks for the feedback chaps, think i'll have to give it a miss and hope the forward launch suffices
