Frequently Asked Questions
What seat sizes is this slide compatible with?
The M20-1013E is specifically designed for boat seats 23" to 28" wide. The 13-1/8" x 10" slide dimensions provide optimal support and stability for seats within this size range.
How quiet is the electric operation?
The M20-1013E operates at ≤58dB, which is significantly quieter than most marine equipment. This whisper-quiet operation won't disturb conversations or interfere with onboard activities.
What does IP66 water resistance mean?
IP66 rating means the seat slide is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand powerful water jets from any direction. This provides excellent protection against spray, rain, and wash-downs common in marine environments.
Does the slide lock in position when power is off?
Yes, the M20-1013E features self-locking technology that maintains position at any point within its travel range without consuming power. This ensures your seat stays in position even when the electrical system is turned off.
What maintenance is required for the linear glide system?
The linear glide system is self-lubricating and designed to be maintenance-free. The dirt-resistant, corrosion-free construction minimizes service requirements, though periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended for optimal longevity.
