Bob’s Extreme series undergoes engineering changes for new motors

Bob’s is proud to announce we have made significant engineering changes to our already popular Extreme series jack plates, and now are on the 3rd Generation of them.

The Extreme Series launched 10 years ago and was the first jack plate rated for the 350 HP Yamaha V8s.  As time went out they were revised into the Gen2 series that is wider for Verado’s and rated to 400HP motors.  Now with the new Yamaha 425, and lineup of Mercury 4 strokes with huge torque gains, we have again redesigned the Extreme in the Gen3 series with new material and manufacturing processes to make them even stronger.  Now rated to 550hp and 1000+ lbs motors, Bobs is again the first to be ready to lift the heaviest of outboards quickly to give that improved holeshot, top speed, and fuel economy gains that we all love on all motors.  And for boaters that have the 7marine 627HP motors, we have that covered to with our specific 7 Marine jack plate that was released over 3 years ago!

Start 2018 off with new QuickSlip & Balanced trolling motor prop nut!

We have 2 new products for 2018, that are going to make your Trolling motor’s better!

Our new QuickSlip cam lever for Trolling motors makes height adjustment extremely easy.  No more fumbling with knobs and possibly dropping over.  And while going from 20 seconds to change height to 1 second, doesn’t sound like a lot, when you are balancing on the tip of your boat in rough waves, you will be glad you have Bob’s QuickSlip on your Trolling motor!  These are also available for all Ram Mount’s as well; They make adjustments MUCH easier, and also hold your graph much tighter!  The worst thing is a graph falling down when running across the water, and our patented cam lever design applies more pressure than the standard hand knob and holds your graph upright!

Also for Trolling motors, our new CNC balanced prop nut for MinnKota 80+ lbs trolling motors.  Dont worry, more size/brands will be available in the future.  These prop nuts are machined in our state of the art Doosan CNC turning center for maximum precision and balancing.  No engraved brand names on the side to throw off our perfect machining like other brands.  Featuring over 25% more mass than other units on the market, these keep your trolling motors silent!  Also we are coating with ultra durable Bob’s Ultimate coat, a ceramic coating process that is corrosion, stain, fade resistant more than any other coating on the market today.  Get the best, Get Bobs!

Bob’s Machine Shop Gives Anglers the Big D

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Bob’s Machine Shop Gives Anglers the Big D

TAMPA, Fla.— Bobby Lane, Bill McDonald and Barry Wilson have an essential piece of equipment in common: the Big D.

It’s the latest boating innovation from Bob’s Machine Shop, developed in conjunction with the pro-fishing trio, that’s making it easier for anglers to get a grip on their trolling motor.

“Being in Florida, the factory trolling motor ropes always break from the heat,” says Bob’s Machine V.P. of Sales and Marketing Steve Pelini. “The sun dry rots them all of the time, and we knew there had to be a better answer for that than what’s out there.” The solution came in the form of the Big D, an oversized, solid handle with an integrated cable. The patent-pending Big D is locked to your trolling motor using a stainless steel cable clamp, to secure it to your unit and keep it from slipping.

“It allows your whole hand to grip the unit and give a strong pull,” adds Pelini. “With other options, you can only fit your finger tips in—or maybe three fingers—but we wanted something big enough to accommodate all anglers.”

McDonald and Wilson say the Big D is already helping them catch more fish by keeping common trolling motor problems at bay. “I’ve used the factory trolling motor cables and other aftermarket handles,” says FLW veteran McDonald. “With the handle molded into the cable system on the Big D, you don’t have to worry about jerking on it and watching the handle come off in your hand. It’s not tied on. It uses a real cable clamp.”

“The thing I like most about the handle is how easy it is to install,” adds Wilson, who’s been fishing the FLW circuit since 2012. “It’s simple to install. The construction of it makes it extremely durable, and it’s absolutely awesome.”

The innovation represents another carefully-crafted upgrade to any serious angler’s boat from Bob’s Machine Shop. Suggested MSRP for The Big D from Bob’s Machine Shop is $39.99, but Bob’s is offering the trolling motor upgrade for an introductory rate of $29.99 for a limited time.

“As with all of Bob’s products,” McDonald adds, “The Big D was designed with a lot of thought. It really is first class.”
