JIF Marine FWY1-NN Transom Support Plate, 15 Inch Die Cast 1060 Alloy
The JIF Marine FWY1-NN is a 15 inch transom support plate designed to reinforce the transom area of a boat. It is die cast, not sand cast, from 1060 alloy, a construction method chosen to add strength and durability compared to sand cast alternatives. Transom support plates like this one are used to spread load and reduce stress on the transom, helping protect the structural integrity of the boat where transom-mounted hardware and fittings place ongoing strain on the hull.
The plate measures 15 x 2 x 0.25 inches and weighs 1.4 pounds, giving it a low profile that fits against the transom without adding significant bulk. It is manufactured from high grade materials and finished in a multicoloured appearance. This part is sold under the JIF Marine brand and is identified by manufacturer part number FWY1-NN.
