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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238312-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fishing Boat Pedestals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six bolt or screw attachment (hardware not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attwood 238 Series pedestal posts and seating accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.825 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 022697383129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits Attwood 238 Series pedestal posts and seating accessories using a standard 3 inch deck mounting hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo manufacturer cross-reference numbers are listed for the 238312-2; Attwood advises against interchanging it with pedestal seating hardware from other manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size mounting hole does the Attwood 238312-2 socket base require?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 238312-2 uses a standard 3 inch hole through the deck for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 238312-2 socket base come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the bolts or screws needed to attach the Attwood 238312-2 socket base are not included and must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 238312-2 seat base made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum with a clear coat finish, giving the 238312-2 socket base corrosion resistance and a look that matches other 238 Series seating accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many attachment points does this socket base have?\u003c\/strong\u003e Six bolt or screw attachment points secure the Attwood 238312-2 socket base to the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the diameter of the Attwood 238312-2 base?\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 inches - the 238312-2 has a round base footprint measuring 9 inches in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 238312-2 socket base be paired with pedestal posts from other brands?\u003c\/strong\u003e Attwood does not recommend interchanging the 238312-2 socket base with pedestal seating products from other manufacturers; it is designed to be paired with genuine Attwood 238 Series posts and seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of boats is the 238312-2 socket base used on?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pontoon, fishing, and cruising boats commonly use the Attwood 238312-2 socket base to add or replace a seating position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 238312-2 socket base weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 238312-2 socket base weighs 2.825 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 238312-2 include a pedestal post or seat?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 238312-2 is the deck-mounted socket base only; it accepts a separate Attwood 238 Series pedestal post and seat, which are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 238312-2 socket base difficult to install?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation is straightforward - the Attwood 238312-2 mounts through a standard 3 inch deck hole and is secured with six bolts or screws.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989667819739,"sku":"ATT-238312-2","price":68.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/238_Series_Aluminum_9_Round_Socket_Base_Underside_Top_Down_View__82788.1722480257.500.750.jpg?v=1785189212","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/attwood-238-series-9-aluminum-round-seat-socket-base-238312-2-for-2-3-8-pedestal-posts","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
