Springfield 9-Inch Plug-In Seat Base | 1300750-L1
Springfield 9-Inch Plug-In Seat Base | 1300750-L1 — Product description
Springfield's 9-inch Plug-In base is the deck-side half of a pedestal seat setup. Bolt it down once, and any 2-3/8 inch Plug-In post drops right in. Satin aluminum, non-threaded, and wide enough to spread the load on your deck. Simple, solid, and built to take a season of getting sat on.
Springfield's 1300750-L1 is the deck-side base for a Plug-In pedestal seat, and it's about as straightforward as boat seating gets. You bolt the 9-inch round base flat to your deck, then any 2-3/8 inch Plug-In post drops straight in. There's no threading and no spinning it down to seat it. You line the post up, set it in, and you're done. That's the whole appeal of the Plug-In style, it takes the fuss out of mounting a seat.
The 9-inch diameter is the part worth paying attention to. A wider base spreads the mounting load across more of your deck, which keeps the whole setup steady when someone's shifting their weight around in a chop or standing up to land a fish. On thinner decks or a casting platform where you want a rock-solid feel underfoot, that extra footprint earns its keep. A smaller base can feel tippy under a tall post, and this one doesn't.
It's satin-finish aluminum, so corrosion isn't something you'll spend your weekends fighting. Salt water or fresh, the finish holds up and doesn't go chalky on you after a season baking in the sun. The non-threaded Plug-In design has a second benefit too. You can pull the post and seat right out of the base when you want the deck clear for cleaning or hauling gear, then drop it back in when it's time to fish again.
One thing to know before you order: this is the base only. It's the half that stays bolted to the boat. You'll need a matching 2-3/8 inch Plug-In post and a seat to finish the setup. The good news is the base works with any post in Springfield's Plug-In line, so you're free to pick the height and the seat that suit your boat and how you run it. If you're not sure which post pairs with the seat you've got, give us a shout and we'll help you sort it out.

Frequently asked questions
What post fits this base?
Any 2-3/8 inch Plug-In post from Springfield's Plug-In line. The base is non-threaded, so the post drops in rather than screwing down.
Does this base include the post and seat?
No. This is the base only, the part that stays bolted to your deck. You'll need to add a matching 2-3/8 inch Plug-In post and a seat to complete the setup.
What does non-threaded mean here?
It means the post drops straight into the base instead of threading down into it. Line the post up, set it in, and you're seated. Pull it back out when you want the deck open.
Will it hold up in salt water?
Yes. It's satin-finish aluminum, which handles salt and fresh water without turning chalky or corroding after a season in the sun.
Why pick the 9-inch base over a smaller one?
The wider 9-inch footprint spreads the load across more of your deck, which keeps things steady under a tall post or when weight shifts around. On thinner decks it gives you a more solid feel underfoot.
Can I swap seats later without changing the base?
Yes. As long as your new setup uses a 2-3/8 inch Plug-In post, this base stays put and you just change the post and seat above it.
