Taylor Made Platinum Series Pontoon Bench Arm, Right Hand, Champagne

If you're refreshing the seating on a Platinum Series pontoon, this is the right-hand arm that finishes the job. It's built by Taylor Made to drop into the right side of a Platinum Series bench section, and it comes with a molded cup holder right where your hand naturally falls. The color is Champagne, so it blends with the warm, light-toned interiors that pontoon builders have leaned into for the last several years.

Everything about this arm is made to live outdoors. The frame is rotationally-molded marine grade polyethylene, which means it's one solid piece with no seams to split and no wood core to rot. The cushion is marine grade vinyl over mildew resistant polyurethane foam, so a rain shower or a wet swimsuit won't start a mold problem underneath. Even the small stuff is thought through. Stainless steel staples and mounting fasteners hold everything together, and the seams are sewn with UV-resistant polyester thread that won't chalk out and let go after a couple of seasons in the sun.

The arm measures 8.5 inches deep by 25 inches wide by 28 inches tall overall. That 28-inch height is worth a note. It sits a touch taller than some older bench arms, so if you're running 20 to 22 foot tubes with lower rail lines, take a quick measurement before you order to make sure the top of the arm clears your rail the way you want. On most Platinum Series layouts it drops right in, but a two-minute check with a tape saves a return.

Installation is straightforward if you take your time. The mounting feet are molded into the polyethylene base, and they'll hold for years as long as you don't over-torque them on the way in. Snug is the goal, not gorilla-tight. Cracks at the feet almost always come from someone leaning on an impact driver. If you're replacing an existing arm, check that the new bolt pattern lines up with your deck holes before you commit, since even a half-inch of drift means new pilot holes. And because this is the right-hand piece, make sure the cup holder and the arm profile are oriented the way you expect for the right side of the bench before you drive the first screw.

Who's this for? Anybody rebuilding, upgrading, or repairing a Platinum Series pontoon and wanting the seating to match. Maybe a previous arm got sun-baked and cracked, or you bought a used boat with one arm missing. Rather than reupholster the whole bench, you swap the single arm and you're back in business. It pairs cleanly with the matching Platinum Series armrests and cup holders, so the whole seating group looks like it left the factory that way instead of a patchwork of mismatched parts.

A couple of honest notes. Champagne is a beautiful, warm tone, but light colors show dirt faster than dark ones, especially on a boat that sees a lot of fishing or dog paws. Plan on wiping it down more often than you would a charcoal seat. And while the vinyl and foam are built to resist mildew and UV, nothing on a boat lives forever in direct sun. If you can throw a cover over the boat when it's parked, you'll get more good-looking years out of the material. Treat it right and this arm will outlast a lot of the rest of the boat.

Bottom line, it's a purpose-built replacement part that respects the way the original was made. Marine-grade materials top to bottom, stainless hardware, a handy cup holder, and a color that works with modern pontoon interiors. If you're not sure it's the exact match for your bench, send us the model of your boat or your old part number and we'll help you confirm the fit before you buy.
