ATTWOOD SEAT SLIDE INSTALLATION

- Got some Attwood Seat Slides for the SkruggBoat but I can't really say I would recommend this set up. I'm going to try and do some modifications to make this slide easier but it's just a plain POS out the package.

I did a mock up of this boat seat slide system. I set it up with the back slide strip with the offset covering the seat plate rear flange. The binding is all on the front guide strip where the pig tail rides in. I took a felt tip pen and made lots of marks on the pig tail. It’s easy to see where it binds. I took a piece of sand paper and dressed area that showed drag marks. It did slide about 50% better but I had a jar of petroleum jelly and this was a huge improvement. Try this and I think it will help you a lot. Also don’t put the back strip too tight to the front strip. The other thing that may give you problem is the tall seat risers you are using. It magnifies all your movement to the slide system probably 2x or 4x time what a flush mount would do. Good luck.
Hey thanks for the input and I appreciate you watching!!!
There is a company that makes almost identical hardware except their tailpiece that has a U shape that goes under and over back of the seat bracket. They have a video called Marlow boat seat install that you should look up and watch it.
I'll have to check ot out. Thanks for watching!
Oh yeah, That is much nicer. Thanks for sharing that. I haven't been real satisfied with the Attwood
I have the Attwood stuff that I haven’t installed yet. I pulled out my parts and the instructions and they are marginal. I thought the back guide was designed to have the lip go over the slide, now it seems like the back guide lip acts as a wear pad for the back of the seat plate to ride on and this makes the slide sits higher and slides better, I think. Better instructions would help.

Hey, I’m thinking I’m going to mount my first slide system on a separate piece of plywood . Sort of a mock up so I can do the back slide glide both ways to see what works best. This way I can make mistakes on plywood not on my boat.
That's a great idea. I had a comment that said that I mounted it wrong in the back but like you said instruction were lousy so I googled it and watched other videos and mounted mine the same as they did. It could be wrong. Let me know what you come up with or make a video. There weren't to many out there. The reason I did one.
I want to go with one of these so I can adjust to balance weight on my 1436 with different sized passengers sitting to my left... AND be able to slide towards the middle when there is no passenger.
How is yours holding up???
Thank you for the vid!
It is been doing pretty good. Be sure to check out the update to this video. I do keep it lubed up with that caliper grease in that video. Appreciate you watching

OK. Thank you.
I will search for the update right now.
I’m sorry you didn’t figure out the proper way to mount that. The back portion goes under, no over the slide plate.
It is mounted properly. The piece in the back that is mounted to the original jon boat seat goes over the slide that is attached to the added seat. If it went under what would hold the seat down? There would be no purpose to even include it in the kit. Plus if it was not over, the attached seat would just flip up and that would be a saftey factor when towing and on the water.
Watching this clown install the rails was almost painful , I'm reminder of Dean Wormer on Animal House saying " fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life . Video could have easily been under 5 minutes and way more informative .
I see your video is much better, oh you don't have one. The video did exactly what it was suppose to, show the struggle and how easy it cannot be. As far as my weight, yeah, don't quit cigarettes and thanks for commenting but it just really shows your ignorance and it must be tough for a 😅troll like you but hey, gotta love the haters also. Thanks for watching. If you thought this was bad can't wait to read your comment on the update to this video but I'm going to guess you just couldn't bear to watch another video of a fat drunk stupid guy make another video as good as yours. Keep On trolling mother fucker!
Hope your Christmas was a happy one .
