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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical 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.\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 238322-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238 Series Socket Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 inch D-Shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Mounting Hole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches\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-coated, bead-blasted, machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.25 x 8.25 x 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 014599223832\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interchangeable between LakeSport 238 Series and 238 Series bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Attwood 238322-1 socket base made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 238322-1 is made of aluminum that is bead-blasted to close surface porosity and then clear-coated to resist scuffing and corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size mounting hole does this base require?\u003c\/strong\u003e A 3 inch diameter mounting hole is required to install the Attwood 238322-1 socket base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shape is the 238322-1 socket base?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a 9 inch D-shaped footprint, matching the standard shape used across Attwood's 238 Series socket bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this base work with a LakeSport 238 Series pedestal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Attwood states that 238 Series socket bases are interchangeable between the LakeSport 238 Series and the standard 238 Series, so the 238322-1 fits both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Attwood 238322-1 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 238322-1 socket base weighs 1.9 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the overall dimensions of this socket base?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Attwood 238322-1 measures 9.25 x 8.25 x 4.25 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Attwood 238322-1 finished or raw aluminum?\u003c\/strong\u003e It ships with a clear-coat finish over machined, bead-blasted aluminum, which helps protect against corrosion and scuffing in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this part used for on a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 238322-1 is a socket base that mounts to the deck to provide the anchor point for a pedestal-style boat seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 238322-1 include the pedestal or seat?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 238322-1 is the socket base only; the pedestal and seat are separate components that attach to this base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Attwood 238322-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Attwood 238 Series Socket Base, part number 238322-1, is 014599223832.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989667950811,"sku":"ATT-238322-1","price":57.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Attwood_D_Shaped_Boat_Seat_Socket_Base__58838.1722352535.500.750.jpg?v=1785188409","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/attwood-238322-1-238-series-socket-base-9-d-shaped-aluminum-boat-seat-pedestal-base","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
