Garelick 99028 Delrin Bearing Set for 99023 Spider Seat Base

The Garelick 99028 is a replacement bearing set built specifically for the Garelick 99023 Spider seat base, giving the swivel mechanism smooth, gaul-free rotation as it wears in from regular use. The set includes the bearing components only, so it is intended as a service part for owners refreshing an existing 99023 Spider rather than a complete seat base assembly. The bearing surfaces are made from Delrin, a low-friction engineering plastic well suited to marine seating hardware, paired with high tensile aluminum and stainless steel fasteners to resist corrosion in a marine environment. The 99023 Spider design uses a 4-prong spider swivel that rotates a full 360 degrees and locks positively in place, and the 99028 bearing set is the part that keeps that rotation smooth over time. Because Garelick seat hardware is fit specific, this bearing set is matched to the 99023 Spider base and should be confirmed against your existing part number before ordering. Installation follows Garelick's published assembly and installation instructions for the 99023 Spider line.
