Attwood Lock'N-Pin 11 Inch Pedestal Kit with 7 x 7 Inch Camo Aluminum Base Plate
The Attwood Lock'N-Pin 11 Inch Pedestal Kit (97749C-7) is a complete boat seating foundation built around Attwood's Lock'N-Pin system, which uses a non-threaded 11-inch post and a spring-loaded locking pin so a seat can be raised, lowered, or removed without tools. The kit includes the 11-inch post, a seat mount, and a 7 inch x 7 inch base plate; a seat and mounting hardware are sold separately, so buyers can pair this pedestal with the seat of their choice. Both the post and the base plate are made from marine-grade aluminum finished in a camouflage pattern, giving the kit resistance to saltwater weathering, corrosion, and rust in open-water use. The base plate's 7 inch by 7 inch square footprint spreads seat and rider weight evenly across the deck for a stable, secure mounting point. At the top of the post, a heavy-duty seat mount is finished in a black E-coat and includes a built-in shock-reducing cushion spring, which absorbs impact from waves and rough water for a smoother ride. The kit is certified to meet ABYC Code B standards, the safety requirement for passenger boat seating hardware on open water. This pedestal kit weighs 6.95 pounds as packaged and is intended for boat applications.
