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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpringfield'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9-inch diameter base spreads the mounting load across a wider deck footprint for a steadier seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-threaded Plug-In design lets the post drop straight in, no spinning or threading to seat it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts any 2-3\/8 inch Springfield Plug-In post, so you can swap posts or seats without changing the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSatin-finish aluminum resists corrosion in salt and fresh water alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound profile mounts clean on an open deck, casting platform, or helm sole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePost lifts right out when you want the deck clear, then drops back in for the next trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Springfield Marine part, matched to the Plug-In pedestal system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Springfield Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat post fits this base?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAny 2-3\/8 inch Plug-In post from Springfield's Plug-In line.
