Deck Hardware Backing Plates

[Sherry Raintree]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if backing plates were installed during manufacture inside the layers of fiberglass for deck hardware? I'm checking all hardware for stability and there are no visible backing plates on my 35'.

Thanks!

Hi Sherry,
From what I've seen in Travellers deck they switched from balsa core to some kind of plywood core in the winch mount areas.
I haven't seen any backing plates.
Thanks,

Mine is a 80 and does not consistently have any kind of backing for hardware.
