    New boat - Needs to be painted

    I used rustoleum and let it sit 30 minutes to maybe an hour then base coated. I let the base coat dry 48 hours then light sanding and several clear coats w/ ~ 30 minutes between each.

    Am I an idiot, or - how to mount this seat?

    This is what I used for the swivel base in .010 - but there are angle brackets nearby. 1/4 x 20 bolt. They are going anywhere and easy to remove.
