Springfield Taper-Lock Hi-Low Swivel | 1600205
Springfield Taper-Lock Hi-Low Swivel | 1600205 — Product description
Springfield's Taper-Lock Hi-Low swivel drops onto the pedestal post you already own and adds four inches of height while letting your seat rotate. Aluminum build, no lock handle, ABYC Class H-31 B rated. A clean upgrade if you're sitting too low or replacing a swivel that's seen better days.
If you're running a Springfield Taper-Lock pedestal on your boat, this Hi-Low swivel is the piece that sits between the post and your seat. It does two jobs at once. It lets the seat rotate so you can turn to face the action, and it adds four inches of height to whatever Taper-Lock post you've already got mounted.
The body is aluminum, so it's light and it won't rust out on you the way a cheaper steel swivel will after a couple of salt seasons. It's built to Springfield's Taper-Lock spec, which means it drops onto the post you already own. No adapters, no drilling, no fighting a mismatched bolt pattern.
This is the version without the handle. So there's no lock lever to bump or break. The swivel turns freely, which is what most folks want on a casual fishing or pontoon seat where you're constantly shifting to grab a rod or talk to the crew. If you'd rather have a locking swivel with a handle, Springfield makes that version too, and we can point you to it.
One thing to keep in mind on the height. This swivel adds four inches. So measure your current setup before you order. If your seat already sits where you like it, adding four inches will push your knees up under the wheel or leave you looking over the top of the windshield. It's a great fix if you're sitting too low, less so if your height is already dialed in.
It carries an ABYC Class H-31 B rating, which is the recreational boat standard for this kind of seating hardware. That's the quiet reassurance that it's been built and tested to hold up to real use on the water, not just to look good in the box.
Who's it for? Anybody replacing a tired swivel, or anybody building up a fresh pedestal seat on a Taper-Lock base and wanting a little more height. Fishing boats, pontoons, runabouts, deck boats. If it's got a Taper-Lock post, this fits.
