Pedestal Mounted Baseplate
  • Description
  • Additional information
  • Reviews (0)

Lund boats such as aluminum bass boats and their fiberglass boats are best used with a baseplate on top of a pedestal which is secured to the deck.  Used when the gunnel is less than 7 inches (approx) from the boats casting deck.

Plan sufficient span of the baseplate to get the cup over the edge of the rub rail outside the boat.

  • 12 inch baseplates:  4.75 inch max span across gunnel
  • 15 inch baseplates:  8 inch max span across gunnel

Pedestal Riser for Baseplate

Pedestal Riser for Baseplate

 

Baseplates sit atop the upper pedestal 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:  dual 150lb holding strength magnetic switches hold the baseplate to the pedestal

All Standard baseplate systems include a plastic coated stainless steel tether to hold the baseplate to the boat.  Should the downrod hit something in the water and cause the baseplate to break away from the mounting, the baseplate will follow the downrod overboard and into the lake.  If you do not wish to dive for your baseplate, the cable is the best means to hold the baseplate to the boat.

Assembly Options​

Pedestal Height 1 Pedestal Height

Pedestals are made specifically to fit your boat. Measurement should be from the deck/carpet to the top edge of the gunnel plus about 1/4 inch to clear. It is ok for pedestals to be taller (just not shorter) than the gunnel height.

Movable / Removable Pedestal Mounting 2 Movable / Removable Pedestal Mounting

We offer a mounting plate for a pedestal that allows the user to remove the pedestal and baseplate from the boat or to move the pedestal and baseplate assembly from one side of the boat to the other. This system comprises the lower pedestal components shown in the photo.

2 pcs of mounting plates
1 pcs lower pedestal plate to fit the mounting plates.
2 pcs thumbscrews
stainless steel mounting hardware

Leave blank to have the pedestal mounted to the deck.

Baseplate 3 Baseplate

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. The Water fished may be full of stumps, trolling speeds can be high. River fishing is likely.

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

Baseplate Color (Marine board only - Aluminum are clear anodized) 4 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.
