  • Reviews (0)

Excel boats generally have many areas where flat surface mounting of a baseplate can be used.  Any level area that has space of 4×4 inch and is flat can use a simple sub plate mounting.  This area could be the Gunnel top, top of a trolling motor deck or even a built up riser made of wood or some other waterproof material.

Baseplates sit atop the sub plate using one of two mounting methods.

  1. Thumbscrews:  a couple of nylon thumbscrews that act as a quick removal as well as a strain relief should the downrod hit something while deployed.
  2. Magnetic Switches:  magnetic switches

Baseplate selection should take into consideration the span, or distance, from the outer edge of the sub plate to the outside rub rail of the boat.  Refer to the drawing below, Dimension D.

Sub plate Mounting 1 Sub plate Mounting

There are two types of sub plates. Both are 4x4 inches

Standard sub plates utilize nylon thumbscrews to hold the Baseplate to the sub plate. Nylon thumbscrews act as a strain relief in case of downrod impact with underwater obstacles.

Magnetic Sub plates utilize two waterproof magnetic switches installed into the baseplate. The magnetic switches allow the baseplate to lift off the sub plate in the case of impact with underwater obstacles. Magnetic systems utilize only marine board baseplates - selecting aluminum will delay your order.

Baseplate length and material 2 Baseplate length and material

Baseplates (the part that holds the downrod) can be made in a polymer material or in Aluminum.
Polymer baseplates are considered light duty. The water fished is relatively clear and the user is unlikely to run into underwater obstacles. Trolling speeds are limited to about 4mph maximum.

Aluminum baseplates are considered heavy duty and are only used with Nylon Thumbscrew sub plates. The Water fished may be full of stumps, trolling speeds can be high. River fishing is likely. Do not order Magnetic sub plates with aluminum baseplates as it will delay shipping.

Refer to the outline drawing below to determine a proper baseplate length.

Refer to the outline drawing below to determine a proper baseplate length.

Baseplate Color (Marine board only - Aluminum are clear anodized) 3 Baseplate Color (Marine board only - Aluminum are clear anodized)

Marine board Baseplates can be made in either White or Black.

Aluminum baseplates are clear anodized silver. They may be painted but the user should NOT paint the inside cup area of the baseplate as it will adversely alter the fit between the downrod bushing and the baseplate.
