ABSTRACT:
A seat pedestal mount for boats, which is characterized by strength, stability, ease of installation and convenience in maintenance. The seat pedestal mount includes a base plate for mounting in the deck of a boat, the base plate having a plate flange for securing the base plate to the boat deck and a downwardly-extending, tapered bushing seat for recessed mounting in the boat deck. A tapered, slotted bushing is removably seated in the bushing seat and receives a seat pedestal extension or a seat pedestal, such that the seat pedestal extension or seat pedestal is rigidly, yet removably, 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 top end of the pedestal extension and the bottom end of the pedestal extension is seated in the slotted bushing, to mount the seat in rigid relationship on the deck of the boat. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a pedestal extension extension is utilized as an accessory to the seat pedestal mount and a threaded nipple is provided in the bottom end of the pedestal extension for engaging threads provided in the base of the bushing seat, in order to further stabilize the pedestal extension in the slotted bushing and the slotted bushing in the bushing seat of the seat pedestal mount.
