Springfield Regatta Fixed Pedestal | 8 in Polished
Springfield Regatta Fixed Pedestal | 8 in Polished — Product description
Springfield's Regatta fixed-height pedestal is the post that sets your seat right where you want it. Eight inches of polished aluminum, 2-7/8 inch diameter, built heavy-duty to hold steady when the water gets choppy. It meets ABYC seat-mounting standards right out of the box.
The Springfield Regatta fixed-height pedestal is the post that stands between your seat base and your seat, and this one runs 8 inches tall with a 2-7/8 inch diameter. It's turned from polished aluminum, so it shrugs off salt spray and keeps a clean look season after season. If you're rigging a helm chair, a casting deck seat, or a companion seat and you already know the height you want, a fixed pedestal like this keeps things simple.
Fixed height means exactly that. There's no lever to pull, no gas cylinder to fail, no play to develop over time. You set the seat once and it stays put. For a lot of boaters that's the whole appeal. Adjustable pedestals are handy, but they're one more thing that can wear out, and at the helm you usually settle on one height and never touch it again.
The 2-7/8 inch post diameter is the common size for marine seat mounting, so it drops into standard 2-7/8 inch bases and takes standard seat swivels on top. The heavy-duty aluminum wall gives you a stiff, stable post that doesn't flex when you lean into a turn or ride out a wake.
The polished finish is worth a mention. On an open boat the pedestal is right there in view, and a polished aluminum post looks a lot sharper than a painted one that chips. It also cleans up with a quick wipe. Eight inches is a low-to-mid post height, so it works well for a raised casting deck or a helm where the sole already sits high. If you need more elevation, that's a taller pedestal, not this one.
It meets ABYC Code H-31 B for seat attachment hardware, which matters if you care about doing the rig right. This is the post only, so you'll want a matching 2-7/8 inch base below it and a seat or swivel on top. If you're not sure what pairs with it, give us a shout and we'll sort out the full stack for your boat.
