[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 323863, member: 9169"] Looking for some opinions on how I'm going to mount my captains seat. I only have 1-1/4" of space from the top of my ribs to the hull. What I'm planning on doing is using stainless bolts, large washers and nyloc nuts to secure my pedestal base to the floor. I also cut out a piece of aluminum to go under my floor to add some support to the seat mount. So the base will be installed with bolts through the floor and through another piece of 1/16" aluminum sheet. I'll have to install my seat base BEFORE I install my floor. Only other way to do it would be to use screws thru the floor. And bolts, I'm thinking, would hold MUCH better than screws. Sound like a plan? Here is my captains seat along with the piece of aluminum sheet I'm planning to use for extra support [img]https://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq356/peck1524/IMAG0862_zpsedcd8dd2.jpg[/img] [img]https://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq356/peck1524/IMAG0863_zpse12eeb18.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
