Replacement seats?

[Matthewstm]

I have 23RSB. I’d like to replace the captains chair and the co-captain chair, so the seats spin all the away around and raise/lower. Can I purchase them via Bennington (to match my interior) or order somewhere other than Bennington?

Trying to understand better: Are the chairs fine, and you want different functionality from the seat post? Or are the chairs no good anymore, and you also want that particular functionality out of the seat post?

Seats are fine. Want the swivel and raise/lower functionality.

You can change the posts only if you want. Most online parts dealers have the posts .

Thanks. I will research how to do this.

Check out the Springfield Marine catalog, they have more seat post options than you can shake a stick at. The seat itself will swap right in.

I’ve been told this one from Springfield does what you are looking for, and can swap in for the OEM pedestal. I saved it in a wish list myself awhile ago, but have not bought it and switched mine out - so no first hand experience. But it provides the swivel & raise/lower ability.

Jeff that one looks like the Cadillac version for sure! The only tough part for OP will be accessing the nuts under the deck but perhaps that's been covered in another thread. Looking at my boat a long-handled box wrench might do the trick.

For sure on accessing those nuts!

I know it’s been covered in 1-2 other threads in the past. My hesitancy in changing to it has been concerns with accessing those darn nuts myself with our under-skinning. That said, I know there’s at least 1-2 threads or series of replies where someone did it. I am pretty certain that’s where I got the above pedestal base idea from and saved it as a furniture purchase idea.

With a 23 RSB model, I figure they want that Cadillac version for their Cadillac model Bennington.
