Traxstech Aluminum Backer Plate
Our aluminum backer plates are recommended if you are going to install a downrigger or have thin walls on your boat. The added support from a backer plate is recommended for our 6″, 12″, 18″, and 24″ mounting tracks. Our longer tracks usually do not require a backer plate because they spread the strength out over the length of the track.
If you wish to use a backer plate with a piece of mounting track 36 inches or longer, we recommend that you use a 3 inch plate.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How many backer plates/what size do I need?
A. If you are installing a 6″, 12″, 18″, 24″ or 36″ track, you need to order just one backing plate in the corresponding size. If you are installing anything over 36″ and wish to use a backing plate as well, you must order the 3″ backing plate – (Part: #3-BP). The other size backing plates will not line up properly with the mounting holes on your tracks.
