Purpose-built backing plate
The C.E. Smith Company 53673 backing plate is made for 70 Series rod holders and installs beneath the mounting surface. It spreads bolt-load across a wider area so that concentrated stress cannot crack the gunwale or deck. Anglers who fish heavy offshore tackle gain a secure, long-lasting mount without modifying the boat structure.
Corrosion resistance and load handling
Cast from 316L stainless steel the plate withstands saltwater exposure and extreme pulling forces without rust or deformation. The 4 mm thickness adds rigidity while keeping the profile low enough for tight gunwale spaces. No moving parts or fasteners are included so noise and maintenance are non-existent in normal use.
Upgrade from standard washers
This plate replaces basic nuts and washers that cannot distribute pressure evenly under high drag loads. The jump is worth it when targeting large pelagic species or when the existing mount shows spider cracking around the bolt holes. It is not for buyers who need a complete rod holder assembly or a clamp-on solution for temporary use.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 53673 backing plate on a 70 series rod holder and which step is most often missed?
Place the 4 mm thick 316L cast stainless steel plate between the rod holder base and the gunwale so the mounting bolts pass through it; the step most often missed is using the plate at all, leaving the bolts to bear directly on the fibreglass.
What maintenance or replacement will the 53673 backing plate need over time?
The 316L cast stainless steel resists corrosion, so no scheduled replacement is required; simply rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and inspect the bolt torque annually.
What is the first limit that appears when the 53673 backing plate is under sustained extreme load?
The 4 mm thick 316L cast stainless steel plate distributes bolt pressure evenly to prevent spider cracking and severe gunwale damage, so the gunwale structure itself reaches its limit before the plate does.
