ABSTRACT:
A multi-function boat seat mount enables a single boat seat to be selectively attached to a seat mounting rail on a boat deck, or a pedestal support. The mounting system converts a prior art seat mounting plate on the bottom of a seat which includes a connector adapted to be attached to a complementary connector on a seat mounting rail, to a pedestal mounted seat. To this end, a separate pedestal mounting plate is provided which includes a rail having substantially the same configuration as the seat mounting rail. The pedestal mounting plate can thereby be connected to the seat mounting plate with a spring-loaded catch on the pedestal mounting plate engaging the trailing edges of the seat mounting plate. A spyder is carried by the bottom of the pedestal mounting plate with a pedestal element telescopingly engageable with a pedestal pole rotatably carried in a bushing on a pedestal base attached to the boat deck.
