T-H Marine 14" Atlas Series Hot Shot™ Jack Plate Hole Shot Plate - Verado

The T-H Marine 14" Atlas Series Hot Shot™ Jack Plate Hole Shot Plate for Verado is a specialized performance accessory designed to dramatically improve acceleration and initial hole shot performance for offshore and freshwater boat applications. This simple yet revolutionary plate attaches directly to the bottom of a compatible T-H Marine jack plate to reduce water drag at takeoff, delivering measurable gains in responsiveness when launching from rest.

The design achieves an 18 to 20 percent improvement in hole shot performance—translating to 2 to 3 seconds faster acceleration out of the hole. This is accomplished by minimizing hydrodynamic drag during the critical initial phase of engine engagement, allowing the vessel to achieve optimal planing attitude more quickly. The 14-inch width accommodates standard jack plate configurations while the Verado-specific design ensures proper fitment with Mercury Verado outboard motor systems. At 4.65 lbs, the plate adds negligible weight while delivering substantial performance gains that competitive and recreational boaters alike will notice immediately during launch scenarios.

This accessory is ideal for operators running tournament circuits, commercial fishing operations, or anyone who values rapid acceleration and responsive boat handling. The Hot Shot™ plate is particularly beneficial in shallow water launch conditions and crowded docks where quick positioning matters. T-H Marine Supplies is recognized for manufacturing heavy-duty marine hardware built to withstand salt-air environments and extended operational demands, making this hole shot plate a durable choice for serious boating applications.

The 14-inch Atlas Series Hot Shot™ represents a proven technology within the marine performance aftermarket. Verado operators seeking quantifiable improvements in launch performance and overall boat responsiveness will find this hole shot plate directly addresses the engineering challenge of water resistance during initial acceleration, making it a measurable upgrade over unassisted jack plate configurations.
