Description
Overview
The Gear Box Mounting Plate 16 mm Thick Steel (Part Number: AM2601) provides a rigid, flat base for marine gearbox installation. Because the plate measures 16 mm thick, it resists flex under load and keeps alignment stable through shock and vibration. Consequently, technicians can secure the gearbox accurately and restore driveline reliability during rebuilds or upgrades.
Features
-
Heavy-duty 16 mm plate improves rigidity and support.
-
Stable mounting surface promotes precise gear-case alignment.
-
Strong steel construction withstands harsh marine conditions.
-
Bolt-through design suits workshop and DIY fit-ups.
Specifications and Materials
-
Thickness: 16 mm steel plate.
-
Mounting: Bolt-through layout with pre-drilled holes for straightforward fitment.
-
Finish: Not specified; therefore apply a suitable marine coating after drilling or deburring.
Although the geometry is simple, you should verify hole positions and plate edges before final torque to avoid misalignment.
Compatibility and Fitment
Use this mounting plate with marine gearboxes that require a 16 mm support plate and a stable base to spread loads. In many setups, the pre-cut layout aligns cleanly with Argomarine transmission assemblies, which simplifies positioning. Additionally, the flat surface supports accurate shim placement and helps maintain coupling alignment between engine and shaft.
Compliance and Safety
Follow recognised marine installation practices throughout the job. Wear gloves and safety glasses, and furthermore protect bare steel with a corrosion-inhibiting coating once you finish machining.

Marine Applications
Owners and repairers fit this plate during gearbox replacements, rebuilds, and reinforcement of existing mounts. As a result, the plate helps maintain long-term stability even in environments exposed to vibration, torque, and moisture. Moreover, the robust section thickness supports preventative maintenance strategies on workboats and recreational craft alike.
Why Choose Argomarine
