Gen3 Marine Premium Captain's Bucket Seat, White/Red, Flip-Up Bolster, 5-1/4 Inch Mounting Pattern
The Gen3 Marine Premium Captain's Bucket Seat is a helm-style boat seat built for long days at the wheel, finished in a White/Red color scheme with a flip-up bolster design. The bolster can be raised for a leaning post position or lowered for full seated comfort, giving boaters two ways to use the same seat depending on how they are running the boat. High compression foam padding fills both the seat base and the bolster, holding its shape and supporting the driver even after extended use, while the exterior is wrapped in marine grade vinyl engineered to resist sun, moisture, and the general wear of a marine environment.
Structurally, the seat combines an aluminum frame with impact plastic components, pairing corrosion resistance with durability against everyday knocks on deck. The base uses a standard 5-1/4 inch hole mounting pattern, matching common boat seat pedestal and mounting hardware so it drops into place on boats already set up for that pattern. This bucket seat is intended for general boat use as a captain's or helm seat and is not tied to a specific boat make or model, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement seat for a wide range of boats.
