Charcoal marine vinyl over mildew-resistant foam, aluminum hinges, and stainless hardware. It folds flat when you're done so you get your deck back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor Made has been building marine furniture for decades, and this fold-down fishing seat is a straightforward, well-made piece for pontoons and small fishing boats. It's finished in charcoal, so it hides dirt and sun fading better than lighter colors, and it folds flat when you're not sitting in it. That's the whole point of a seat like this. You want somewhere comfortable to fish from, and you want it out of the way when you're loading gear or making room on deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build is honest marine-grade stuff. The cover is marine grade vinyl, which wipes clean and stands up to sun and spray. Underneath, the padding is mildew-resistant polyurethane foam, so it won't turn into a waterlogged sponge that smells like the bilge by mid-season. The hinges are aluminum, the staples and mounting fasteners are stainless steel, and the seams are stitched with polyester UV-resistant thread. Those are the details that decide whether a seat lasts a couple of seasons or a decade. Stainless where it counts, and thread that won't rot in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a fold-down design, non-adjustable, and it comes without a headrest. So it sits low and clean. Fold it up and you've got a comfortable spot to work a rod. Fold it down and the deck is open again. On a pontoon that's exactly what you want, since open deck space is the whole appeal of the boat and you don't want a fixed chair eating into it. It also works nicely on jon boats and small center consoles where every square foot matters and you're moving around a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions are 17.5 inches long by 18 inches wide by 23 inches tall. That 17.5 by 18 base lines up with most standard pedestal bolt patterns, so if you're already running a pedestal you can likely bolt this right on. Because the height is fixed, think about your pedestal choice up front. On a pontoon, a shorter pedestal in the 13 to 15 inch range usually gives you a good sightline over the rail without perching too high. Pair it with a swivel plate and you can spin to follow a fish without getting up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is simple, but do it right. If you're mounting to a fiberglass deck, pre-drill your holes and use a backing plate under thin glass so you don't crack the gelcoat or pull a fastener through under load. On a pontoon deck, the same rule applies, back the mounting bolts so they spread the load across the sheet rather than one small point. The stainless hardware that ships with the seat is the good stuff, so use it. Snug everything down and give the seat a good wiggle before you trust it with your full weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is easy. Wipe the vinyl down with mild soap and water, and rinse the hinges with fresh water now and then, especially if you run in salt. A quick freshwater rinse keeps the aluminum and stainless looking right and moving freely, and it's the single best thing you can do to make the hardware last. The mildew-resistant foam helps a lot, but you still want to let a wet seat dry out rather than folding it away soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Anybody who wants a solid, no-drama fishing seat that folds out of the way. Pontoon owners, jon boat anglers, and small-boat fishermen who value open deck space. It's not a high-back captain's chair, and it isn't adjustable, so if you're after a tall recliner for long offshore runs, this isn't that seat. But for casual fishing and everyday use where you want to reclaim the deck the moment you're done, it's a smart, durable choice at a fair price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFold-down design opens up deck space when it's not in use, ideal for pontoons and small fishing boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine grade vinyl cover wipes clean and stands up to sun and spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMildew-resistant polyurethane foam padding resists waterlogging and stays fresh through the season\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum seat hinges fold smoothly and shrug off corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel staples and mounting fasteners hold up in salt and spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyester UV-resistant thread keeps the seams from rotting in the sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e17.5 in x 18 in base fits most standard pedestal bolt patterns for an easy mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharcoal color hides dirt and sun fading better than light upholstery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-adjustable fixed height keeps the profile low and the deck clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 17.5 x 18 x 23 in footprint suits tight decks and small consoles\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 Taylor Made 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 boats is this seat made for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for pontoons first, but it works just as well on jon boats and small center consoles.
