{"product_id":"bobs-machine-deck-plug-for-pedestal-seat-base-1-77-inch-black","title":"Bob's Machine Deck Plug for Pedestal Seat Base, 1.77 Inch, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bob's Machine Deck Plug is a 1.77 inch plug designed to close the mounting holes left in your boat deck when a pedestal seat base is removed or not in use. Left open, these holes let water into below-deck compartments and create a path for tackle, bait, weights, and hooks to fall through and get lost. This plug seals the hole with an O-ring for a watertight fit, helping keep rod holders, storage compartments, and bilge areas dry and free of debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is simple: drop the plug into the vacated pedestal seat base hole and the O-ring creates a tight seal against the deck surface. The plug is finished in black, giving the deck a clean, finished look rather than an open hole. It is built around a patent-pending O-ring sealing design specific to Bob's Machine deck plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deck plug is sold as a single unit and is intended for boat owners who swap pedestal seats in and out, such as anglers who remove seats for extra deck space while fishing and want to reseal the mounting holes afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bob's Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 311-000001BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck Plug - Pedestal Seat Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.77 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealing Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e O-ring sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 818377010221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck Plates \u0026amp; Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Bob's Machine 311-000001BK deck plug used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It closes the mounting hole left in a boat deck when a pedestal seat base is removed, keeping the hole sealed and the compartment below it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat diameter is this deck plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e The plug measures 1.77 inches in diameter, sized to fit a standard pedestal seat base mounting hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the plug create a watertight seal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 311-000001BK plug uses an O-ring seal to keep the deck hole watertight when the pedestal seat is not installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Bob's Machine deck plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e This version of part number 311-000001BK is finished in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this deck plug weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 311-000001BK deck plug weighs 0.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many plugs come in one package?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package contains a single 311-000001BK deck plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the deck plug installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e The plug is pressed into the vacated pedestal seat base hole, where its O-ring seals against the deck to hold it in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this plug help prevent lost tackle through deck holes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, sealing the pedestal seat hole with the 311-000001BK plug prevents baits, weights, and hooks from falling down through an open mounting hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this deck plug made by a specific manufacturer?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is manufactured by Bob's Machine under part number 311-000001BK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the deck plug protect below-deck compartments from water intrusion?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, by sealing the open pedestal seat hole, the plug helps keep below-deck compartments watertight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bob's Machine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027466232027,"sku":"BOB-311-000001BK","price":25.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41MQu6ZEm1L.jpg?v=1785331064","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/bobs-machine-deck-plug-for-pedestal-seat-base-1-77-inch-black","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
