It's a black powder-coated aluminum adapter with stainless hardware that buys back clearance and reach on low casting decks, thin transoms, and cluttered gunwales, so your live pole, fish finder, or rod holder sits exactly where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes the HEXX mount you already run just needs to sit higher. That's the whole point of the RAILBLAZA HEXX Riser Plate. It bolts between your mounting surface and any HEXX base mount, lifting the whole setup 3-1\/3 inches (85 mm) off the deck. Small part, but it solves a real problem when clearance or reach is working against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's where it earns its keep. Casting decks and raised bow platforms often sit too low or too flush to give a HEXX Live Pole the room it needs to swing and deploy cleanly. Drop this riser under the base and you buy back that 3-1\/3 inches of height, which is usually enough to clear a gunwale lip, a rod locker lid, or your own feet when you're working the trolling motor. Anglers running forward-facing sonar on a pole know the feeling. You want the transducer down in the water and the pole clear of everything topside, and a riser is the cheapest way to get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not just for live poles. The plate is built to work across the HEXX system, so it fits the HEXX Live Pole 60, the HEXX Live Pole 30, the HEXX Fish Finder Mount, the HEXX Rotating Platform, and the HEXX Rod Holder. If it's a HEXX base mount, this riser sits under it. That means you can raise a fish finder to eye level at the helm, lift a rod holder up where it's easy to reach, or get a rotating platform above a cluttered gunwale without changing anything else in your rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReach and viewing angle are the other reasons boaters grab a riser. A HEXX Rod Holder that sits flush on a low deck can be an awkward stoop to load and pull rods from. Raise it 3-1\/3 inches and it comes up to a more natural hand height. Same story with a fish finder on the HEXX Fish Finder Mount or Rotating Platform. Get the screen up off the deck and closer to your line of sight and you're not craning your neck down every time you check the sonar. On a bass boat or bay boat where every inch of deck is spoken for, that little bit of lift changes how the whole station feels to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor forward-facing sonar in particular, deployment clearance is everything. A live pole needs to rotate and drop without catching on trolling motor cabling, cleats, or the edge of the casting deck. When the base sits too low, the arm fouls on gear before it's fully deployed. The extra 3-1\/3 inches from this riser often clears exactly those obstacles, so the pole swings free and the transducer gets where it needs to be. It's a small change that can be the difference between a setup that works and one that fights you every launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build is straightforward and made for saltwater. The plate is aluminum with a black powder-coated finish, so it shrugs off spray and sun without turning chalky. The hardware in the box is stainless steel, which is what you want anywhere near salt. Footprint is 7.8 inches wide, 4-1\/2 inches tall, and 3-1\/2 inches deep, so it spreads the load across a solid patch of deck instead of hanging everything off a couple of screws. On a boat that pounds through chop all day, that wider base matters. It keeps the mount planted and cuts down on the wobble you'd get trying to shim height some other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is about as simple as marine mounting gets. Pick your spot, mark the holes through the plate, drill, and through-bolt it to the surface with proper backing where you can reach it. Then mount your HEXX base on top exactly the way you normally would. Nothing about the HEXX quick-connect changes. You still pop your accessory in and out the same way, you've just moved the whole works up 3-1\/3 inches. Because it's a fixed riser, the height is set once and you don't have to fuss with it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes. This is a height adapter, not a mount by itself. You still need the HEXX base mount and the HEXX accessory it carries. And the 3-1\/3 inch rise is fixed, so if you need an adjustable or angled lift this isn't that part. But for the common problem, a HEXX setup that sits too low for the deck it's on, this is the clean fix. Buy it once, bolt it down, and forget about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-1\/3 inch (85 mm) fixed rise lifts your HEXX base mount clear of low decks, gunwale lips, and rod locker lids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction with a black powder-coated finish stands up to salt spray and UV without chalking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel mounting hardware included, so nothing near the salt corrodes out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7.8 in wide by 4-1\/2 in tall by 3-1\/2 in deep footprint spreads the load and keeps the mount planted in chop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits the full HEXX line: Live Pole 60, Live Pole 30, Fish Finder Mount, Rotating Platform, and Rod Holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRaises fish finders and screens closer to eye level for easier viewing at the helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrings rod holders up to a natural hand height on low casting decks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdds pole deployment clearance for forward-facing sonar setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps the HEXX quick-connect action unchanged, so accessories still pop in and out the same way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized RAILBLAZA reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow much height does the RAILBLAZA HEXX Riser Plate add?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt adds a fixed 3-1\/3 inches (85 mm) between your mounting surface and the HEXX base mount.
