Springfield Taper-Lock to KingPin Adapter, Part 2100032, Marine-Grade Plastic

The Springfield 2100032 Taper-Lock to KingPin Adapter lets a Taper-Lock base accept KingPin pedestals, giving boat owners a way to change pedestal styles without replacing the base already mounted on deck. It is built from durable, marine-grade plastic engineered to hold up in the harsh marine environment, resisting the moisture, UV exposure, and general wear that boat seating hardware is subjected to on the water. The adapter is designed specifically for use with Springfield Taper-Lock bases, bridging the gap between the Taper-Lock mounting style and KingPin pedestal fittings. This is a universal-fit component, sold as one adapter per package, intended for boat owners and installers who want to switch or standardize on KingPin pedestals while keeping an existing Taper-Lock base in place. Installation is straightforward: the adapter sits between the Taper-Lock base and the KingPin pedestal, converting the interface so the two systems work together. Because it is a simple mechanical adapter with no moving parts, there is little to maintain beyond periodic inspection for wear or cracking from sun exposure. It ships as a single unit, so anyone converting multiple seats will need to order one adapter per pedestal position.
