Springfield Marine Boat Seat Pedestals, Seats & Tables
Springfield Marine makes boat seating hardware: pedestals, posts, swivels and slides, along with seats and table packages. The range here covers adjustable and fixed-height seat pedestals, power-rise pedestals, seat swivels and slides, helm and fishing chairs, and table pedestals. Outboard motor toters and a rail-mount propane grill are listed as well. Product names give the post diameter and the height range, which are the two things to match first.
Seat pedestals and posts
Pedestals include the Mainstay 2-3/8 in. pedestal, 14 to 20 in., with swivel, the heavy-duty Mainstay 2-7/8 in. with swivel and the Taper-Lock Hi-Lo 2-3/8 in. post.
Swivels and seat slides
To add rotation or fore-and-aft travel there are the swivel for a 2-3/8 in. post, the Trac-Lock seat slide with 4-1/2 in. travel and the heavy-duty seat slide with 6 in. travel.
Seats and tables
Seating and tables include the Deluxe Captain's Chair in white, the round table package and the 18 x 30 in. oval table package in white.
What is the difference between 2-3/8 in. and 2-7/8 in. posts?
It is the outside diameter of the post. The two sizes are not interchangeable, so the post, swivel and base all have to be made for the same diameter.
Can I mix Taper-Lock, KingPin and Spring-Lock parts?
These are different ways the post locks into the base. Keep the post and base within the same system, and check the listing for which one it belongs to.
Do I need a swivel, a slide, or both?
A swivel lets the seat turn. A slide moves it forward and back. Some pedestals are supplied with one or the other, which the product name states.
How do I choose pedestal height?
Measure from the deck to the underside of the seat at the height you want, then pick a fixed post of that height or an adjustable pedestal whose range covers it.
