It is part of the Taper Lock Series, designed to fit into a taper-lock seat pedestal or post so the seat can pivot and lock smoothly at the height the taper-lock mechanism engages. The bushing is molded from black plastic, giving it corrosion resistance and smooth, low-friction rotation that a bare metal fit would not provide, which matters in the wet, salt-exposed environment around a boat seat base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: the bushing seats into the taper-lock post housing by hand, with no special tools required, making it a simple field replacement when an original bushing has worn out, cracked, or gone missing. It ships as a single bushing (quantity of one) sized specifically for 2 inch OD taper-lock posts, so it is intended as a like-for-like replacement rather than a universal fit for other post diameters. Boat owners typically reach for this part when a seat feels loose, wobbles side to side, or no longer locks solidly in the taper-lock post, since a worn bushing is a common cause of that play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springfield Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2171035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taper Lock Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBushing Outside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Post Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taper-Lock Post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.28 x 4.13 x 1.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 038132600355\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Springfield Marine 2171035 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Springfield Marine 2171035 is a Hi-Lo bushing that fits inside a taper-lock boat seat post, letting the post rotate and lock smoothly at the seat's set height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size post does the 2171035 bushing fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This bushing has a 2 inch outside diameter and is made specifically for taper-lock posts, so it is sized for 2 inch OD taper-lock post assemblies rather than other post diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Springfield 2171035 bushing?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is black plastic, part number 2171035 in Springfield Marine's Taper Lock Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the bushing made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic.
