One year review of this seat base mounting kit with a swivel considering the good and bad points of this boat seat mounting option. If you are looking for a good low-cost solution for mounting seats in your aluminum boat, these Swivl-Eze by Attwood clamp-on seat mount with swivel seem to be pretty good - despite a few shortcomings.

My boat is a V hull and there's also flat bottom jon boats. Which type is better? That's the topic of this video here - - > ua-cam.com/video/DG123pdYtYw/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing the pvc pipe tool for tightening the seat wing nuts. That simple tool makes the tightening of the wingnuts so much easier.
Just bought a 73 mirrorcraft, you are a back saver, thank you!
When you named your tool I immediately called you grandpa in my head. Love the wisdom
Great video Wayne I have been using these for over 40 years and I love them ❤
Thanks Wayne for another great video.
That's exactly what I have used for years and currently. I also bring them inside after I'm done for the day and not a big deal because as you mentioned , they stay like new.
I'm sure many people have bought used boats where the previous owner left them outside all the time and when you decide to move or remove them , it becomes a chore fighting the rust and the bees that are hiding in there. Thanks
Mark from Harford county
I didn’t even think about the potential for bees!
Just redid my big flat boat mounted a permanent seat in the driver's side that I can slide out but I'm thinking about using those for the rest of the seats those are pretty nice and convenient.
Great video, thank you for showing.
You have sold me. Thanks. Will be perfect for my wife and I to enjoy a day of fishing.....
I think this is going to work out perfect for my boat seat for driving
Mount the seat to a piece of wood whatever your bench size is then mount the wood and seat to the bench with some self tapping screws. Thats what i did back in 1999 and there still strong and working great. You can paint the wood first or carpet them
Thank you that actually sounds like a good idea I’ve been trying to think of a way without messing up the strength on my old jon boat
Super cool idea. I’ve hurt my back bending over trying to turn the wing nut with a pair of pliers whilst on the water. 🙏
Glad to help!!
Great video, thank you
Best seat system for me. Thanks
I'm about to get one of these. My boat is used exclusively in salt water. I just intend to spray fisholene on the mounting bracket every couple of months (to prevent corrosion).
did the 1X piece of wood help keep it stable?
I have same kind of seat mounts and appreciate this video, I like being able to remove for winter months.
I have the same seats on my aluminum boat, I put them on when I arrive at the lake and remove them again before leaving the lake. I never trailer with the seats installed and they are stored indoors, hoping they last awhile.
Excellent, need to do this 👍
Thanks for watching!
Im get 2 of these for my 14 foot John boat
I just got these for my boat
Does the extra angle metal help on the front side? Thanks for the tool idea!
Ive had tons of issues with things on amazon being mislabeled.
Can you say what seats you are using like brand and model?
Hi Wayne , thx for video . Question does the Atwood pedestal fit on that .. on the swivel seat
I am pretty sure it does.
After reading comments on your threads that these loosened and people went overboard I’m thinking not
I have not had any issues with them getting loose after I fabricated a tool for tightening. But these type usually aren't as secure as a fixed mount seat.
How do i tighten these?
Wayne, this is a comment i received on facebook. can you touch on this if youve had an issues? "I have had trouble with these.. they clamp onto the bench and they use the rubber to 'grab' onto the bench. When you lean back, it is relying on the friction between the rubber grabbers and the bench to keep the seat from falling backwards. In my experience, I have hat to sit straight up and couldn't lean back too far or the seat would slip backwards."
Because of the design this is a potential problem especially for taller or larger people. I have only had the issue when the wingnuts aren't fully tightened - which is why I now use a tool to tighten them.
That’s what I figured. I think I’m gonna try it out.
My boat came with these on it when I bought it. Will admit they were corroded. My first time out with another fisherman, the risk you describe almost happened to my fishing buddy. He sat in the seat on the middle bench and began pulling up on the anchor line. That pressure was enough to get the seat to suddenly slip out of position, and he very nearly went over the side. Never again. My first mod to the boat was to ditch those seat mounts and affix the seats to the benches. I did reuse the swivel portion of those mounts, so the seats will swing around. My boat is stored inside, so I'm not concerned these steel swivel plates sitting in the weather.
Screw a strip just over top of the clamp , then it can’t go up and you can’t fall backwards do the same thing to the other side
They slep when you lean back mine do
Can you lean back in the seat I have one but never got them tight enough
I really have to crank them tight to keep them tight
Same price at Royal king
What seat attaches to it
Most any boat seat has holes that match up with the mounting holes.
@@WayneTheBoatGuy thanks so much can’t wait to hit the river
If those things were made out of stainless steel that would be pretty great. Too bad it’s carbon steel. I’d have to pass. I don’t have a garage to keep them in. They’d stay in the boat and rust.
