Springfield 1640404 Spring-Lock Fixed Height Post, 13-1/2 Inch, Stainless Steel
The Springfield 1640404 Spring-Lock Fixed Height Post is a stainless steel boat seat post designed to work with a Non-Locking Spring-Lock mechanism, which is sold separately. Measuring 13-1/2 inches in length with a 1-3/4 inch (1.75 inch) post diameter, it is built for durability in the marine environment, resisting corrosion and wear from long-term exposure to sun and saltwater. The stainless steel construction is intended to hold its finish over time rather than pit or dull the way lower-grade metals can.
This post is a universal-fit component, made to be interchangeable with similar pedestal setups that use a 1.77 inch post, making it a practical option for replacing a worn or damaged post without replacing the entire pedestal assembly. It pairs with a Non-Locking Spring-Lock unit to allow the seat to spring up out of the way for storage or standing, then lock back down into the fixed height position for seated use. It ships as a single post unit.
