TACO Backing Plate f/GS-850 & GS-950

The TACO Backing Plate f/GS-850 & GS-950 is a critical structural component designed for anglers and boaters who demand reliability in their deck-mounted hardware. This backing plate serves as the foundation for TACO Marine's GS-850 and GS-950 gunwale systems, distributing loads evenly across your boat's rail or gunwale to prevent stress concentrations and potential damage. Whether you're running offshore in rough seas or navigating shallow flats, this hardware ensures your mounting system remains secure and stable under demanding conditions.

Engineered to TACO Marine's exacting standards, the backing plate measures 4 x 4 inches and weighs just 0.35 lbs, making it lightweight yet structurally sound. The 4-inch footprint provides optimal load distribution without creating an excessive footprint on your gunwale, which is critical when deck space is at a premium. Marine-grade construction ensures corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, making it suitable for various marine applications.

Serious anglers upgrading their rigging will find this backing plate beneficial for maintaining mounting integrity, especially when installing new TACO Marine gunwale systems or replacing worn original plates. Its compatibility with the GS-850 and GS-950 systems makes it a versatile choice for enhancing your boat's functionality. This backing plate is a reliable addition for those looking to secure rod holders, outriggers, or other deck hardware.
