Attwood Stainless Steel Seat Mount 3 Degree Right-Hand Handle 238142-7
The Attwood 238142-7 is a stainless steel seat mount hinge built for boat seating applications that require a 3 degree angled base and a right-hand handle configuration. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine environments, holding up to sun, saltwater spray, and repeated use better than painted or plated steel hardware. The 3 degree angle is designed to set the seat at a slight forward or aft tilt relative to the deck or pedestal mount, and the right-hand handle placement is specific to this part, so boat owners replacing seat hardware should confirm handle orientation before ordering. This mount is part of Attwood's seat hinge and hardware lineup, used to attach a boat seat to its base or pedestal while allowing quick-release or tilt-adjust functionality depending on the handle mechanism. It is sold as a mounting hardware component rather than a complete seat or pedestal assembly. Boat owners and marine techs use parts like this to replace worn, corroded, or broken seat hinges without buying an entire new seat.
