Springfield Trac-Lock II Swivel Bushing for 2-3/8 Inch Boat Seat Swivels
The Springfield Trac-Lock II Swivel Bushing is a replacement service part designed for 2-3/8 inch Trac-Lock swivels used on boat seat pedestals. This bushing is the wear component inside the Trac-Lock swivel mechanism, and replacing it restores smooth, secure rotation to a seat swivel that has become loose or worn over time. Because it is sized specifically for the 2-3/8 inch Trac-Lock swivel, it is intended as a like-for-like replacement rather than a universal fit part.
Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools beyond basic disassembly of the swivel housing, making this a practical DIY fix instead of replacing the entire swivel assembly. The bushing is sold as a single piece (pack of 1) and ships compact, with a small item footprint that reflects its role as an internal hardware component rather than a full swivel unit.
