Marine conditions drive the build of this 16.0 by 12.0 by 16.0 inch seat, which pairs tightly stitched faux leather with corrosion-resistant screws so saltwater, sun and rain do not lift the cover or seize the hardware. High-elastic thick foam fills both the backrest and the cushion, resisting the flattening that makes a long day on the water uncomfortable by the afternoon. Aluminum alloy hinges let the backrest fold forward flat, freeing deck space for casting, cleaning or towing without removing the seat. Double stitching along the stress points keeps seams from tearing where a body shifts weight during a wake crossing. A bolt pattern of 5.1 by 5.1 inches at the base drops onto most standard pedestals and mounting plates, though a rotating base and support pedestal are sold separately. The seat weighs 5.6 pounds with all accessories included, light enough to move between a fishing boat, an aluminum skiff or a canoe deck.
