Abstract
A position indicator for a hydraulic jack plate for use with a marine outboard motor in a marine environment, the position indicator allows a boat operator to determine the position of an outboard motor relative to some fixed reference point usually the upper edge of the transom of a boat, the hydraulic jack plate has a fixed support and a moveable slide, a magnet is attached to the fixed support, this magnet activates individual segments of a multi segment transducer which is secured to the moveable slide of the jack plate when activated each segment of multi segment transducer produces a specific voltage which in turn activates a particular L.E.D., by observing which L.E.D. is activated an operator can determine the position of the slide and hence the position of the outboard motor, the light output of the L.E.D.'s is varied in relation to the ambient light.
