Restore structural integrity and smooth blade deployment to your boat's trim system with the Zipwake Interceptor 450 Series S Backing Plate. Engineered as a direct replacement component, this 450mm straight backing plate provides the critical rigid foundation needed to handle severe hydrodynamic stress and high-speed water flow. Constructed from fiberglass-reinforced composite material, it mounts flush against the hull to create a stable, corrosion-resistant platform for the moving interceptor blade and internal mechanics. Replacing a cracked or warped backing plate ensures waterproof hull sealing and eliminates mechanical drag, keeping your dynamic ride control system responsive. Ideal Applications Replacing cracked or warped 450mm straight backing plates Restoring structural hull mounting rigidity for trim systems Rebuilding Zipwake Series S trim interceptors on 20 to 50 ft boats Eliminating blade binding caused by distorted housing foundations
