Bob's Machine 311-000002BK Pedestal Seat Deck Plug, 0.75 Inch, Black
The Bob's Machine 311-000002BK Deck Plug closes off the mounting hole left in your boat deck when a pedestal seat base is removed. Rather than leaving an open bore exposed to rain, spray, and deck wash, this plug seals the hole so the compartment or deck core beneath stays water tight. It is a simple, purpose-built fix for a common problem on boats where seats are swapped out for fishing, storage, or seasonal changes.
The plug is built from a combination of nylon, plastic, rubber, and silicone, with an O-ring seal that keeps water from working its way down into the hole. Beyond keeping water out, the sealed fit also stops small gear like baits, weights, hooks, and tackle from disappearing down an open pedestal hole while the seat is off. Finished in black, it sits flush with the deck and blends in rather than standing out, giving the deck a finished look instead of a bare hole.
Each plug is sized for a 0.75 inch hole, matching the standard opening left by a removed pedestal seat base. It is sold and installed as a single plug per hole, so order one plug for each open mount you need to cover.
