 GT reverse plate Why do some GTs not have the reverse plate? Is it something that isn't needed and has been removed? What are pros/cons if any of removing it. Just curious because I've run across some without it. Also mine is solid and I notice some have openings. Is there any benefit with this.

Re: GT reverse plate The old machined model lower units the reverse plate was an extra option, which is why some have it as some don't was a 150 extra in 2013 when I ordered my gtr, if I recall correctly. The newer units are cast and the reverse plate is part of the cast.

Re: GT reverse plate The reverse plate wasn't always standard.
The solid piece is much stronger.

Re: GT reverse plate It helps direct the prop wash under the boat instead of over the transom.

Re: GT reverse plate That's not my video. My point was that it really doesn't direct a damn thing under the boat  I have a GoDevil. I've got full power push pole reverse.... It works pretty good too

Re: GT reverse plate I does help direct the prop wash down, if u run a GT without and with one u can see the difference.

Re: GT reverse plate I like that tilt grab handle on that GTR in the video. I snapped the stock one off a year ago.
