TACO Wedge Plate f/GS-800 & GS-900

The TACO Wedge Plate for GS-800 & GS-900 is a precision-engineered alignment solution designed to correct mounting surface irregularities on curved T-tops and hardtops. When installing TACO Marine's Grand Slam 800 VHF antenna mount or Grand Slam 900 masthead anchor light, even slight curves in the mounting surface can cause the antenna or light assembly to sit at an angle, compromising both aesthetics and signal transmission. This wedge plate ensures your antennas and lighting fixtures mount perfectly vertical regardless of surface curvature.

Constructed from durable plastic material, the wedge plate measures 4 × 1 × 4 inches and weighs just 0.25 lbs, keeping the overall weight penalty minimal while providing reliable shim functionality. The compact profile allows seamless integration between the antenna base and mounting surface, with the angled geometry accommodating the specific curvature profiles found on fiberglass T-tops and hardtop structures common to center console and offshore fishing vessels. The design maintains compatibility with both the GS-800 and GS-900 models, making it a universal solution for these TACO Marine antenna and light assemblies.

Boaters installing communications and navigation equipment on curved surfaces benefit from this straightforward correction method. Anglers and offshore operators who require proper antenna orientation for VHF radio performance and lighting alignment will appreciate the clean, finished appearance that proper vertical mounting provides. Rather than accepting a tilted antenna installation or attempting time-consuming custom fabrication, the wedge plate delivers an OEM-backed solution in minutes, preserving the integrity of your vessel's profile while ensuring functional mounting geometry.

TACO Marine has engineered this accessory for the real-world conditions found on modern fishing boats, where factory-installed T-tops and retrofit hardtop systems frequently feature curved surfaces to shed water and manage structural loads. The wedge plate is a genuine TACO Marine component backed by the brand's reputation for marine-grade reliability and compatibility assurance.
