Attaching New Seats

#1 Post by curtiscapk » Tue Feb 19, 2013 8:47 am

Those of you that have gotten new seats, how did you attach them to the deck?

PS doesn't send hardware to attach to deck. I was thinking lag bolts, but do I really need stainless if she is only on the water 40-50 days a year for 6 hours at time and then trailered home? With the new cover, troughs in the seat bases and fence risers I would think it will dry out much better.

Sorry Ed no Salt Water here.

What say you guys?

YES YES YES you need stainless its on the water it will corrode. I also think that all hardware should be stainless steel, and all wire should be soldered and shrink wrapped. Just my opinion and we all know about opinions.Craig I also bolted my seats together and only bolted the lounge chairs to the floor, they will get water in them so be sure to drill a drainhole in the base.

Well I posted on the PS forum too and looks like I may have overlooked some stainless screws in the bases...

I should have known they would take care of me.

There instructions say attaching hardware not included, but they do include them now appherently. :nana

Yep, if you use non stainless hardware it'll corrode to hell (although slower in freshwater).

I'm sure GregF will argue over this.

When I recovered my seats a few years back, I found the manf. didn't use stainless screws on some of the parts and they looked like this

Yeah Tracker used a few steel rivets on my boat (Hull ID tag and sliding door handle). Corroded to hell in a few seasons. :x

Stainless screws were in the bases! I guess I missed them. Ty from PS replied on their forum right away.

I checked 3 boxes and they were in there. :drink2 :drink4 :drink4
