Add the swivel seat mount and you've got a full helm or fishing seat setup that spins a clean 360, carries an ABYC H-31 B rating, and lifts out in seconds when you need the deck clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're building out a seat at the helm or dropping a fishing chair in the cockpit, the base you mount it on matters just as much as the seat itself. The Springfield Plug-In Hi-Lo pedestal set gives you the whole foundation in one box. You get a 15-inch fixed-height post, 2-3\/8 inches in diameter, an anodized aluminum finish, and a 9-inch satin base that bolts to the deck. On top sits the Plug-In Hi-Lo swivel seat mount, so your seat spins a full 360 degrees. It's a clean, proven setup that's been holding boaters up on the water for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real trick here is the Plug-In design. The post drops into the base and locks in, but it also lifts right back out when you want it gone. That's a bigger deal than it sounds. On a small center console or a skiff, deck space is everything. When you're netting a fish, cleaning up, or just trying to move around the cockpit, you pull the post out and you've got an open floor again. Drop it back in and you're seated in seconds. No tools, no fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15-inch post height is a sweet spot for most boats in the 15 to 22 foot range. It puts an average captain's sightline right over the console and, on walkarounds and boats with a T-top, keeps your eyes above the frame instead of staring into it. The 2-3\/8-inch post diameter is the common marine standard, so it plays nicely with a lot of existing hardware. One thing worth checking before you order: measure your current base or the hole pattern in your deck. Some older hulls came pre-drilled for a narrower 2-inch post, and you may need an adapter plate or a fresh set of holes to seat the 9-inch satin base properly. Better to know that on the dock than halfway through the install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp top, the Hi-Lo swivel seat mount does exactly what you want. Sit down, plant your feet, and spin to face wherever the action is. Working a downrigger, watching a spread, or just turning to talk to the crew, the swivel makes the seat useful instead of fixed. The whole set carries an ABYC Code H-31 B rating, which is the marine seating standard, so this isn't a piece of patio furniture pressed into boat duty. That said, a rating is only as good as the install. On a cored deck, put a backing plate under the base to spread the load. Skipping that step is the single most common reason a pedestal works loose over time, especially under a heavier angler in rough water. Torque the set screws on the swivel collar to spec while you're at it and it'll stay tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the seat itself, the swivel mount takes a standard bolt pattern, so most 13 to 14-inch marine seats will bolt right on. If you're running a bigger captain's chair, just make sure the seat's footprint suits the boat and you're not perched too high for the console. On a low-freeboard skiff, the combined post and base height can sit taller than you'd like and eat into under-seat storage, so measure twice if your gunwales are low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is simple but don't ignore it. The anodized post shrugs off salt far better than bare aluminum, but it can show some white oxidation streaking after a couple of seasons if it never gets cleaned. A rinse after saltwater trips and an occasional polish keeps it looking sharp, and some owners add a coat of clear protectant after install. The swivel is the one part that'll bite you if you forget it. Salt crystals pack into the plug-in collar and the mechanism can seize up. Once a season, pull it apart, clean it out, and hit it with marine grease. Do that and this pedestal set will outlast a lot of the boat around it. It's a straightforward, honest piece of gear that does one job and does it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15-inch fixed post height puts most captains at a comfortable sightline over the console and above low T-tops\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-3\/8-inch anodized aluminum post resists corrosion and shrugs off the abuse of a working deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-In design lets the whole post lift out of the base in seconds, so you can clear the cockpit for fishing or storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9-inch satin base spreads the load across the deck on a standard bolt-down mounting pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHi-Lo swivel seat mount spins a full 360 degrees for easy access at the helm or in the cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarries an ABYC Code H-31 B rating for marine seating structural strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnodized finish holds up to salt and sun with basic seasonal rinsing and polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits most 15 to 22 foot fishing boats, center consoles, and walkarounds\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 comes in this pedestal set?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThree pieces: the 15-inch anodized post at 2-3\/8 inches in diameter, the Plug-In Hi-Lo swivel seat mount that goes on top, and the 9-inch satin diameter base that bolts to your deck.
