Springfield Marine 1793313 Fixed Height Boat Seat Pedestal Set
Springfield Marine 1793313 Fixed Height Boat Seat Pedestal Set — Product description
The Springfield Marine 1793313 is a fixed-height boat seat pedestal set built to bolt down and stay put. Three anodized aluminum pieces thread together and lock: a 13 inch fixed post, a non-locking 360 swivel seat mount, and a 9 inch base. ABYC H-31 rated and sized to the industry-standard 2-3/8 inch post.
The Springfield Marine 1793313 is a fixed-height seat pedestal set built for boaters who want a solid, no-nonsense mount that just stays put. It's a three-piece threadlock system: a 13 inch fixed post, a non-locking swivel seat mount up top, and a 9 inch diameter base plate. Anodized aluminum throughout. Nothing here rusts, nothing flexes, and the whole thing carries an ABYC H-31 AP and B rating, which is the standards body's way of saying it's been load-tested for the job.
We like this one for center consoles, walkarounds, and utility skiffs in the 17 to 22 foot range. The 9 inch base spreads the load nicely across the deck, and the 2-3/8 inch post diameter is the industry-standard size, so it drops into most existing pedestal cutouts without drama. If you're replacing a tired old post that's started to wobble or oxidize, this is a clean swap. The 14 inch post height puts you at a comfortable seated position for a leaning post or a low-profile helm seat. Standing operation on a taller walkaround might want more height, so measure your seat base to the sole before you commit.
The threadlock part matters. The three pieces thread together and lock, so once it's assembled you don't get that annoying rattle or the slow loosening you feel in chop with cheaper snap-together posts. The non-locking swivel up top spins a full 360, which is exactly what you want when you're working a cockpit, reaching for a rod, or turning to talk to the crew. Worth knowing up front: non-locking means it does spin freely under way. If you run offshore at speed and want the seat to stay pointed forward, plenty of boaters add a simple set-screw or an aftermarket locking collar. For fishing and general use, the free swivel is the feature, not the bug.
Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with a drill and a few stainless fasteners. Set the base where you want it, mark your holes, and through-bolt into the deck. On thin fiberglass or a cored floor, back it up with a piece of half-inch plywood or an aluminum backing plate underneath so you're not loading the gelcoat directly. That single step is the difference between a pedestal that lasts a decade and one that starts flexing after a season. The 2-3/8 inch post hole wants to be cut clean and true. A slightly undersize hole binds on assembly, so take your time with the measurement.
Care is easy but not zero. Anodized aluminum holds up well in freshwater and brackish use. If you keep the boat in saltwater, give the post an occasional wipe and a coat of wax to keep the white oxidation from creeping in. That's true of any aluminum hardware on the boat, and a few minutes a season keeps it looking sharp for years.
Who's this for? First-time owners refreshing a used hull, folks rigging out a new center console, and anyone who's simply tired of a seat that leans a little more every trip. It's not a fold-down or removable quick-release post, so if you need to pull the seat out of the way for a cast net or a cooler, this fixed setup isn't that. But if you want a permanent, dependable helm or companion seat mount, the 1793313 is a smart buy.
This is a genuine Springfield Marine part, and it pairs cleanly with Springfield's own 13 inch fixed post components if you're building out a matched system. Solid base, locking threads, free-spinning swivel, and a marine-grade finish that earns its place on the deck. Bolt down a seat and stop thinking about it. That's the whole idea.

Frequently asked questions
What's included in the 1793313 set?
It's a three-piece threadlock package: a 13 inch fixed-height post, a non-locking 360 degree swivel seat mount, and a 9 inch diameter base plate. All three pieces are anodized aluminum and thread together to lock.
What size boats does this pedestal fit?
It's a good match for center consoles, walkarounds, and utility skiffs roughly in the 17 to 22 foot range. The 9 inch base spreads the load well on most decks. On very thin or cored floors, add a backing plate underneath.
Does the swivel lock in place?
No. The swivel is non-locking, so it spins freely a full 360 degrees. That's great for fishing and moving around the cockpit. If you want the seat to stay pointed forward at speed offshore, boaters often add a set-screw or an aftermarket locking collar.
What's the post diameter?
2-3/8 inch, which is the industry-standard pedestal post size. It drops into most existing 2-3/8 inch cutouts, so replacing an old post is usually a straight swap.
How tall is the pedestal?
The post height is 14 inches, with a 13 inch fixed post in the set. That's a comfortable seated height for a leaning post or low-profile helm seat. If you plan to stand and steer on a taller walkaround, measure your seat base to the sole first, because you may want more height.
What does the ABYC H-31 rating mean?
ABYC H-31 is the American Boat and Yacht Council standard for boat seating and pedestals. This set carries the H-31 AP and B rating, which means it's been load-tested to those marine seating requirements.
Will anodized aluminum hold up in saltwater?
Yes, it holds up well. Anodizing resists corrosion in fresh, brackish, and salt water. If you keep the boat in salt, give the post an occasional wipe and a coat of wax to keep white oxidation from forming. A few minutes a season keeps it sharp.
How do I mount it on a thin fiberglass floor?
Through-bolt the base into the deck. On thin fiberglass or a cored floor, put a piece of half-inch plywood or an aluminum backing plate underneath so you're not loading the gelcoat directly. That backing is what keeps the mount solid for the long haul.
Is this a removable or quick-release pedestal?
No, it's a fixed-height, permanent mount. If you need to pull the seat out of the way for a cast net or cooler, this isn't a quick-release setup. For a dependable, always-there helm or companion seat, it's exactly right.
Can I pair this with other Springfield Marine components?
Yes. It pairs cleanly with Springfield's own 13 inch fixed post components if you're building out a matched system. Sticking within the same line keeps the swivel and post fitment tight.
