Attwood 238312-2 238 Series Aluminum 9 Inch Seat Socket Base
Attwood 238312-2 238 Series Aluminum 9 Inch Seat Socket Base
The Attwood 238312-2 is an aluminum seat socket base built for the 238 Series line of boat seating and pedestal accessories. It mounts to the deck and provides the fixed foundation that a 238 Series pedestal post and seat attach to, letting boat owners add or replace a seating position on a pontoon, fishing, or cruising boat. The base has a 9 inch round footprint and a clear coat finish that resists corrosion and visually matches other 238 Series hardware.
Installation uses a standard 3 inch hole through the deck, with six bolts or screws securing the base in place (mounting hardware is not included). Because fit and finish are matched to the 238 Series system, Attwood does not recommend interchanging the 238312-2 with pedestal seating hardware from other manufacturers. The socket base itself does not include a pedestal post or seat; it is the deck-mounted foundation that those separate 238 Series components attach to.
