    3/4" Seat Base pin - spring vs no spring

    Noticed most replacement seat bases for 3/4" have a spring around the pin. The oem bases in my Skeeter do not have the spring. Not sure if one is preferred over the other - is there any reason not to get the springed version? Just a cost saving deal from Skeeter maybe?

    Every one with the spring I’ve ever dealt with cried and creaked every time I turn the seat.

    Well shoot, I ordered the spring version lol. I guess I can try it, if it's a squeak-monster I will just send it back.

    Trying the Millinium B-200, I have the Palma but sometimes miss just being able to sit and relax fish for a bit on long days - especially when my bad back starts aching.

    If I'm no mistaken, you can just take the spring off I know I have in the past.

    If you have the pneumatic posts, you don’t need the spring.

    doh didn't even think of this... have pnematic on front/leaner, but not on the back which is a short post and seat.

    I bought it for a Millinium B-200 seat so would have been on the short post, but decided I didn't like the seat and returned it. So guess I can put it on my oem Skeeter seat, although I never use it. Or I could return it as well I suppose.

    Acutally I think I'll return it as well, they sent me the wrong one anyway.
