Patent ID: 8657637

Claim:
A multiple engine jack plate, comprising, in combination: a motor plate having a generally rectilinear configuration with a proximal surface which mounts toward a boat transom and a distal surface which is located away from the boat transom, with a thickness between the proximal motor plate surface and the distal motor plate surface, forming an edge, with the edge running the periphery of the motor plate, the edge comprising an upper edge and a lower edge and a pair of like-configured side edges; a center plate connector having a right portion and a left portion, the right portion and left portion being continuous, the center plate connector being fixedly coupled to the motor plate; a pair of outer slides being a right outer slide and a left outer slide with each of the outer slides being slidably coupled to the motor plate; a pair of inner slides being a right inner slide and a left inner slide with each of the inner slides being slidably coupled to the center plate connector, the inner slides each being located between the outer slides, with the inner slides being slidably coupled to the center plate connector; at least one hydraulic cylinder with each cylinder having a case and a ram and a ram pin hole therein, the hydraulic cylinder being coupled to at least one inner slide and at least one outer slide, each hydraulic cylinder case having a pair of fluid lines coupled thereto; and a hydraulic pump system having a pump and a hydraulic fluid flow control valve and a hydraulic fluid reservoir holding a volume of hydraulic fluid.
