GunnelCore™ Mounting Options
The GunnelCore™ System is the adjustable mounting platform behind all CORE SERIES racks. Select the backframe option that best matches your boat’s storage pocket or gunwale style.
-
Standard 34mm Backframe
Suits most boats with flat or near-flat storage pockets up to approximately 32mm thick.
-
SLR / Lowrider Backframe (25mm)
Designed for shallower or angled pockets. Allows the rack to sit lower for improved rod support and stability.

Hybrid Backframe
Engineered for deeper or bulb-shaped pockets. Uses protective padding to lock securely into the pocket shape for a firm, rattle-free fit.
If you change boats, the rack body remains the same — simply update the backframe to suit.
