Springfield TRAC-Lock Bushing 2-7/8 Inch, Black Plastic Boat Seat Swivel Bushing, Part Number 2171001

The Springfield TRAC-Lock Bushing is a replacement swivel bushing sized for 2-7/8 inch boat seat pedestals and TRAC-Lock style seat mounts. It is molded from black plastic and installs between the seat base and pedestal to allow smooth, low-friction swivel rotation while reducing metal-on-metal wear and rattling. Both the nominal inside diameter and outside diameter measure 2.88 inches, matching standard 2-7/8 inch pedestal and swivel hardware. This is a single-piece bushing (one per package) intended as a direct wear-item replacement when an original bushing has cracked, worn thin, or become loose, restoring a snug, quiet swivel fit. Its plastic construction resists corrosion in the marine environment better than a bare metal bushing and keeps the seat turning smoothly without the need for grease.
