Overview

The TACO Marine F40-0018WHC-A is a frosty white backing plate and wedge plate for the F16-0080 removable side mount bracket in TACO Marine's 125 degree removable side mount table pedestal system. It is used behind the mounting surface to add support where the bracket fastens to a boat, helping spread the load instead of concentrating it around the screw holes.

This plate measures 2-1/2" W x 4" H x 5/32" D and is set up for a #10 flat head screw with a 1/4" hole. The compact size makes it useful for cockpit, cabin, or deck-adjacent table installations where access behind the mounting panel is limited but the bracket still needs a more secure backing surface.

Key features

• Made for use with the TACO Marine F16-0080 removable side mount bracket.
• Works as a backing plate and wedge plate within the 125 degree removable side mount table pedestal system.
• 2-1/2" W x 4" H x 5/32" D size fits tight mounting areas behind panels and bulkheads.
• Configured for a #10 flat head screw and a 1/4" hole.
• Frosty white finish matches the color used across the compatible TACO Marine table pedestal components.

Installation and fit

Use this plate when the F16-0080 bracket is being mounted to a surface that needs extra bearing area behind it. On boats, that can be especially helpful around fiberglass panels, cockpit modules, seating areas, or other locations where a removable table may see side loading from passengers, motion, or repeated setup and removal.

Before drilling, confirm the bracket location, table swing, access behind the surface, and screw length for the panel thickness. The backing plate should sit flat against the rear side of the mounting surface so the fasteners can clamp the assembly evenly.

Use cases on board

This part is a practical match for boat owners replacing or reinforcing a removable side mount table setup using the F16-0080 bracket. It suits installations where the table needs to come off cleanly but the mounting point still needs a more solid foundation for regular use underway, at anchor, or dockside.
