Attwood 238613-3 Fixed Height 12.6 Inch Seat Extension Post for 238 Series Seat Pedestal Assembly
The Attwood 238613-3 is a fixed height seat extension post built for the 238 Series seat pedestal assembly, giving boaters added seat elevation on fishing, pontoon, and cruising boats. The post stands 12.6 inches tall with a 2.38 inch diameter and is made from hard anodized, corrosion resistant aluminum designed to hold up to marine conditions and sun, spray, and moisture exposure. The upper end is flared and swaged specifically for the 238 Series seat mount, so it seats correctly in a 238 Series socket base; it is not compatible with the 238 Lake Sport Series seat mount because that mount does not accept the flare/swage profile. A locking latch with a low friction ramped bottom allows the post to insert smoothly into the base, while a release button is designed to operate with less effort so the post unlocks easily from the 238 series base when it is time to reposition or remove the seat. The post is rated to support up to 250 pounds. It ships in a silver finish and is intended as a direct-fit extension post for boat owners upgrading or replacing worn hardware on an existing 238 Series pedestal setup rather than a universal fit for other seat mount styles.
