Pedestal Hardware

WHAT IS PEDESTAL HARDWARE?

Pedestal hardware is the hardware that connects boat seats to the boat deck, providing a stable and secure seating arrangement. It consists of a pedestal base and a pedestal post, which connect the seat to the deck.

There are several common types of pedestal hardware, including parts and hardware designed for fixed pedestals, adjustable pedestals, and swivel pedestals.

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING PEDESTAL SEAT HARDWARE?

When choosing pedestal hardware, consider the size and weight of the seat, the height and adjustability of the pedestal, and the material and durability of the hardware. Look for pedestal hardware that is easy to install, secure, and able to withstand the harsh marine environment.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY PEDESTAL HARDWARE?

To keep your pedestal hardware in good condition, it is important to rinse it with freshwater after each use to remove salt and debris. Inspect it regularly for signs of wear or damage, and replace any worn or damaged parts as needed. Lubricate any moving parts with a marine-grade lubricant to keep them working smoothly. By keeping your hardware well-maintained, you’ll also be caring for your pedestal seat.

CAN PEDESTAL HARDWARE BE USED WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEATS?

Pedestal hardware is typically designed to be used with specific types of seats, so it is important to choose hardware that is compatible with the seat you have. Some pedestal hardware may be adjustable to accommodate different sizes and weights of seats, but be sure to check with the manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
