Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

Hmm...I could Velcro that to a flippin' couple of planks of varnished wood and fab the rest as needed and bolt the lot to a pedestal. That could also work. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

OK, it's going on the list, then. Looks "right-sized".:thumb: Thanks.

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

Yes, I could, and it's beginning to look as if I want the seat (any seat) to pivot in a sort of friction drag mount, I would have to design and build it, or at least modify some sort of small,...

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

I don't have quite that amount of room there as I need to access electrical panels and vents. I suppose I could build a box with quick-release pins, however, as a box bench would be nice to stow...

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

Nice, but a little too "coastal" for my needs, and it can't easily be adjusted or strapped down effectively, by the look of it.

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

I would put a strong backing plate underneath and would through-bolt the pedestal firmly. But this is also why I would want a pivoting helm seat, to increase comfort and to reduce the shearing forces...

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

Nice indeed, but that's a rail seat. I'm looking for a helm seat inside the pilothouse. Like this sort of thing:

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

A bit big and overstuffed for the tropics and the space required, but I did look at a salon chair briefly as it had a more compact seat. Besides, I need it to move fore and aft as well as up and...

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

I actually considered something like an upsized "baby swing seat" hanging from a length of track bolted to the pilothouse roof, but I couldn't figure a way to dampen a puke-making oscillation...

Re: Looking for opinions on helm seats

Bump...seriously, no one here has ever bought a helm seat?

Looking for opinions on helm seats
