Springfield Marine Nylon KingPin Bushing 2100077 for Taper-Lock Base Seat Pedestals

The Springfield Marine Nylon KingPin Bushing (part number 2100077) is a replacement insert bushing designed for Springfield's Taper-Lock base seat pedestal system. It inserts into the Taper-Lock base to accept KingPin pedestals, allowing the pedestal to seat, lock, and release smoothly from the base for quick removal and stowage. As a wear component, the bushing is the part that takes the friction and load of repeated pedestal insertion and rotation, so replacing a worn or damaged bushing restores proper fit and eliminates play or wobble in the seat mount without having to replace the entire base or pedestal assembly.

The bushing is molded from nylon, a durable, low-friction material well suited to marine environments where it will be exposed to sun, moisture, and repeated mechanical contact. Because it is nylon, color can vary batch to batch, and units ship with a glossy finish. It is a simple insert-type mount with no tools required for installation beyond fitting it into the Taper-Lock base. This part is sold to fit Springfield's KingPin/Taper-Lock pedestal base system and is intended for boat owners maintaining or upgrading their Springfield seat pedestal setup.
