Hi, need some help. My front butt seat suddenly became very wobbly. Its not the post itself. Has anyone ever dealt with this? It appears to have a black plastic sleeve running thru. My last boat was a solid brass threaded piece. I dont see any way to access it from underneath.
Thanks,
Sounds like the seat post bushing is worn. You can get a "Kit" that includes the new bushing, glue and wooden dowel to install it with. Not "Rocket Science" !!

G Loomis Rods / Shimano Reels
Raymarine / MinnKota Ultrex
Garmin / Live Scope Plus

Troll Bridge / V-T2 Vents
Thanks. I found the bushing but it doesnt include glue as far as I can tell.Originally Posted by wmitch2
Springfield won't sell the Spring-lock tapered plastic bushing #4721026 alone - just the Springfield Marine 2100038 Spring-Lock kit. What's your pedestal?
Is this for a springlock 1.77 size like on a Ranger , I might have one if your interested with everything needed???

Brushing tend to wear, one of the biggest factors is leaving the pedestal in while driving down the road.
No 3/4 pin. Thank you for the offer
no problem will probably put it in the misc section
Thanks to all who have chimed in to offer advice. After some trying times we found the root cause. The weld on seat base failed causing all this.
Same thing happened to mine. When I replaced it, I looked for one that had supporting angle braces underneath in addition to the weld.
The cone-shaped area should function same as angle braces. That's just a crappy weld - there's no weld penetration into the vertical post. Looked purdy but worthless.
