A manual jack plate will set the motor back away from the transom 5 1/2 inch which will get your prop away from the boat in what is called "cleaner water". There is less water turbulence 5.5" farther aft than at your boat transom and the water goes under your transom, then sweeps up toward your prop. This will allow you to raise your motor on the average of 3" higher than you can at your transom and still have water pressure and a good "bite" with your prop. Also, the 5.5" set-back provides leverage to get the bow of you boat up with less trim allowing you to lift your motor higher. Less boat in the water and less engine lower unit in the water equates to more top end speed, better fuel economy and more prop clearance in shallow water.
If you do not want to spend the bucks for the hydraulic unit, you can get a manual jack plate for about 30% of the cost of the hydraulic unit. While it will not adjust engine height while on the water, it will allow you to fine tune to the most desirable engine height for your particular needs.
