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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 2100077\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon KingPin Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Random (varies by batch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Package Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5 x 7 x 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springfield Taper-Lock base, KingPin series pedestals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 038132590779\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Springfield Marine 2100077 bushing used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 2100077 is a nylon insert bushing that fits into a Springfield Taper-Lock base to accept a KingPin pedestal, letting the pedestal seat, lock, and release from the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 2100077 bushing made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from nylon, a durable, low-friction material chosen for its wear resistance in marine conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the color match my other Springfield hardware exactly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Color on the 2100077 nylon bushing is random and can vary from batch to batch, so slight color differences between units are normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this bushing fit any pedestal base, or only Springfield's?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2100077 bushing is made to insert into Springfield's own Taper-Lock base and is designed to accept Springfield KingPin pedestals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 2100077 bushing weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Springfield 2100077 bushing weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the packaged dimensions of this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2100077 bushing ships in packaging measuring 8.5 x 7 x 7 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need tools to install the 2100077 bushing?\u003c\/strong\u003e No special tools are required; it is an insert-type bushing that fits directly into the Taper-Lock base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many bushings come in one package?\u003c\/strong\u003e One Springfield 2100077 nylon bushing is included per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same part as the brass KingPin bushing?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, part number 2100077 is the nylon version of the KingPin bushing; Springfield also offers a separate brass bushing under a different part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should I replace the KingPin bushing on my seat pedestal?\u003c\/strong\u003e If a Springfield seat pedestal feels loose, wobbly, or difficult to lock into the Taper-Lock base, the nylon bushing (2100077) is a wear part that can be replaced to restore a snug fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Springfield 2100077 bushing genuine Springfield Marine, or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a genuine Springfield Marine part, manufactured under part number 2100077 for the Taper-Lock\/KingPin pedestal system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025166803163,"sku":"S-M-2100077","price":14.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dse-2100077_lg__41240.1558175047.500.750.jpg?v=1785329205","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/springfield-marine-nylon-kingpin-bushing-2100077-for-taper-lock-base-seat-pedestals","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
