Attwood 238 Series Socket Base 238322-1, 9 Inch D-Shaped Aluminum Pedestal Base

The Attwood 238322-1 is a 238 Series Socket Base designed to mount a pedestal-style boat seat to the deck. It is built from aluminum that is bead-blasted to close surface porosity and then clear-coated, a process that improves resistance to scuffing and corrosion in a marine environment. The base has a 9 inch D-shaped footprint and requires a mounting hole diameter of 3 inches for the socket to seat properly.

This base is part of the Attwood 238 Series lineup, and Attwood notes that 238 Series socket bases are interchangeable between the LakeSport 238 Series and the standard 238 Series, giving boat owners flexibility when matching a base to an existing pedestal or seat socket. The D-shaped design and machined finish give it a clean, low-profile appearance on deck while providing a secure, stable anchor point for the pedestal above it.

Typical use is as a replacement or upgrade base for fishing boats, pontoons, and other small craft using a compatible 238 Series pedestal and seat socket system.
