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

Tracker boats with no Versatrack mounting rail or Fiberglass bass boats (Nitro etc) are best fitted by Mounting of the Baseplate on top of a pedestal.  Used when the gunnel is less than 7-8 inches (approx) from the boats casting deck.  This mounting will keep the downrod in a very user friendly location as you are turning the downrod while watching the sonar returns on the screen.

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

  • 10 inch baseplates:  Only on older 175 Classic Tracker with no Versatrack – these boats have a 1 inch wide top rail.
  • 12 inch baseplates:  4 inch span across gunnel.  Typical for Pro, Pro Team, and other Modified V series.
  • 15 inch baseplates:  7 inch span across gunnel.  Typical for Nitro Z series and equivalent.
  • 18 inch baseplates:  Targa boats when mounted behind windshield – else use 15 inch in front of windshields.

Pedestal Riser for BaseplateBaseplate Dimensions

All mounting systems include 12 thumbscrews to hold the baseplate to the pedestal or other mounting as well as 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.

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.

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