PC questions

[chroma]

I plan on buying a PC 7424 or 7336 within the next month or so. I have read the threads on this subject, but I have a question about the combination of backing plates and pads. Should I go with the 5" or 6" backing plate? I know that 6.5" pads will fit on a 5" backing plate, but will it fit OK on the 6" backing plate? Or is this not recommended? I notice that some of the kits come with 6" plate and was wondering if only larger pads >7" should be used. I plan on using the 6 counterweight. Thanks for the suggestions.

I`m a PC noob too, and after searching I bought a 7336 (6" CW) with a 5" plate and I`ll use it with 6" or 6.5" pads. I don`t plan to use any pads bigger than that...

I will get both backing plates then; that way if I`ll ever have to 8" pads for a boat or something larger, I`ll already be prepared.
