Cannon 18" tracks

[rick99]

I purchased a couple of cannon 18" tracks does anyone know who makes the backing for them? Cannon doesn't seem to have any. What do folks use as backing when they install cannon tracks? Is there another manufacturer that makes backing where the holes align with the cannon tracks.

Any advise would be appreciated.

I just backed my track with some scrap 1x6 Azek vinyl board. Ripped to 3.5" and an inch longer than the track. Pre drill with track as template. And install with fender washers. Makes my 1/8" aluminum gunnels nice and solid, and will never rot. Made two transducer boards too and attached my underwater lights to them

I got aluminum from a metal shop 1/2 inch think. drilled thru the gunnels, used clamps to hold the plates in place underneath so all lined up. Used stainless bolts and thru bolted. Way overkill but I run riggers on them with 16 and 20 lb balls.
