| Post subject: | Securing Bow Seats in Chop |
Hey all, Hoping for some ideas on how to secure my port & starboard bow seats in choppy waters? They hinge from the back (towards the stern) and frequently lift up and bang closed during chop. I've thought about: Magnets = Corrosion Bungee Loops/ Eyes = Awkward angles/ not very efficient Velcro = Short term Bikini Models permanently seated up there = Short term (marriage!  ).Any suggestions, please? |

My Crownline has seat cushions secured with a stud and rubber grommet fastener. On one side there is a plastic stud with a round end. The other side is a rubber grommet. The stud fits into the grommet. It takes a bit of force to both secure and remove them, they've never come loose. I'll have to see if I have any pictures. I have no idea what the name is or who makes them. |

I found a picture of one half. It is the rubber grommet at the lower right of the picture. I'm sure I don't have a picture of the mating part since it is on the bottom of the cushion.

Can you mount something like this: http://www.mcmaster.com/#12855a11/=zu2eqd It's all Plastic and Stainless Steel. It's made byhttp://www.southco.com, but the above is on the McMaster-Carr web site. I don't think it would take much to keep the seat down, so if you used Velcro, it wouldn't require much. |
