Satin stainless steel means it shrugs off salt spray season after season. It's the go-to swap when your old post is worn or you're rigging up a fresh helm or casting seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpringfield's Spring-Lock fixed-height pedestal post is the workhorse under a lot of helm seats and casting chairs. It stands 13-1\/2 inches tall with a 1-3\/4 inch post, the standard Spring-Lock diameter, so it drops straight into a matching Spring-Lock base and locks down. No wobble, no play. Just a solid mount for your seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole point of the Spring-Lock system is quick removal. When you want the deck clear for cleaning, fishing, or hauling gear, you release the post and lift the seat right out. Drop it back in and it locks again. You'll see this setup on center consoles, aluminum fishing boats, and pontoons alike. That's the convenience boaters have counted on Springfield for over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one's built from stainless steel with a satin finish, so it holds up to salt and spray without the pitting you'd get from a cheaper post. Fixed height means there's no telescoping mechanism to seize up or rattle loose. What you set is what you get, season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries a 5 inch offset, which shifts the seat off-center from the base. That's handy when you need to nudge a seat toward the gunwale or clear a console without moving the whole base. And it's built to ABYC Code H-31 B, the standard that covers how pedestal seating handles load, so you're not guessing about whether it'll hold up under a full-grown adult in a chop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know before you order: this is the post only. It seats into a Spring-Lock base, so you'll need a compatible base if you're starting from scratch. If you're replacing a worn post on an existing Spring-Lock setup, this is a straight swap, no drilling or new hardware needed. Not sure what you've got? Send us a photo of your base and we'll help you match it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring-Lock quick-release design, drops into a matching base and lifts out in seconds for a clear deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e13-1\/2 inch fixed post height, no telescoping mechanism to seize or rattle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/4 inch post diameter, the standard Spring-Lock size for a snug, no-wobble fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel with a satin finish, resists salt-water pitting season after season\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 inch offset shifts the seat off-center to clear a console or reach the gunwale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to ABYC Code H-31 B for pedestal seating load, so it holds under a full-size adult\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\u003eWill this fit my existing Spring-Lock base?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf your base is a Springfield Spring-Lock with the standard 1-3\/4 inch opening, yes, this post drops right in and locks.
