Whitecap Aluminum Backing Plate f/6809 Push Up Cleat

The Whitecap Aluminum Backing Plate f/6809 Push Up Cleat is a precision-engineered hardware component designed for marine and deck applications where secure, reliable fastening is essential. This backing plate serves as a reinforcement system for push-up cleats, distributing load across a wider surface area and preventing fastener pull-through on fiberglass, composite, or thin aluminum surfaces.

Manufactured from durable aluminum alloy, the Whitecap backing plate combines lightweight construction with exceptional corrosion resistance—a critical advantage in marine settings where rust and degradation compromise safety. The plate measures 2 x 1 x 7 inches, providing optimal surface coverage for cleat mounting while maintaining a compact footprint that won't interfere with deck geometry or create trip hazards.

Its engineered design works in concert with Whitecap #6809 and #6709 push-up cleats, creating a unified fastening system that locks down rope, lines, and rigging with consistent, repeatable performance across extended service life. This backing plate is ideal for boat owners, marine contractors, and deck equipment installers who require proven hardware compatibility and long-term reliability.
