Smith backing plates distribute mounting bolt pressure evenly over 30 times more surface area than with standard washers alone. Regular nuts and washers can concentrate stress and cause spider cracking around your rod holders or perhaps even tear through causing severe gunnel damage. Available for 70 series and 80 series rod holders. Each size fits all 3 models of the Series. Use your 1/4" stainless bolts and nuts (hardware not included).
