ABSTRACT:
A seat pedestal mount for boats, which is characterized by strength, stability, easy of installation and convenience in maintenance. The pedestal mount includes a base plate for mounting in the deck of a boat, the base plate having a round plate flange for securing the base plate to the boat deck and a tapered bushing seat for receiving a taper lock bushing and mounting a seat pedestal extension or a seat pedestal, such that the seat pedestal extension or seat pedestal is rigidly, yet removably, mounted and stabilized in the bushing seat of the base plate. When a pedestal extension is used, the seat pedestal element of a seat frame fits into the pedestal extension and serves to mount the seat in rigid relationship on the deck of a boat. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a specially designed, hollow pedestal extension is utilized as an element of the seat pedestal mount, with a threaded nipple provided in the bottom end of the pedestal extension, for engaging the threads of a nut seated in the base of the bushing seat, in order to further stabilize the pedestal extension in the taper lock bushing and the base plate.
