Attwood 238333-1 238 Series Socket Base, Stainless Steel, 7 Inch x 7 Inch Square, 3 Inch Mounting Hole

The Attwood 238333-1 is a 238 Series Socket Base built to give fishing boat pedestals a stable, corrosion-resistant mounting point on deck. It has a smooth stainless steel construction that resists scuffing and corrosion, making it suited to the wet, salt-exposed conditions common around boat seating pedestals. The base is square in shape, measuring 7 inches by 7 inches, with a centered mounting hole sized for a 3 inch diameter socket. This socket base is interchangeable between Attwood LakeSport 238 Series and 238 Series pedestal systems, so it can be used to install or replace a base across either line without needing a different part. It functions as the deck-mounted foundation that accepts a matching pedestal socket, providing the load-bearing connection between the boat deck and a seat pedestal. Because it is stainless steel rather than painted or coated aluminum, it holds up to repeated exposure to water and sun without flaking or rusting at the mounting points. At 3.3 pounds, it is substantial enough to provide a rigid base without adding excessive weight to the installation area. Boat owners replacing a worn, cracked, or corroded socket base, or outfitting a new pedestal seat location, can use the 238333-1 as a like-for-like stainless steel base sized to standard 238 Series hardware.
