Just bought a 73 mirrorcraft, you are a back saver, thank you!

[markmoffett]

Thanks Wayne for another great video.
That's exactly what I have used for years and currently. I also bring them inside after I'm done for the day and not a big deal because as you mentioned , they stay like new.
I'm sure many people have bought used boats where the previous owner left them outside all the time and when you decide to move or remove them , it becomes a chore fighting the rust and the bees that are hiding in there. Thanks

Great video Wayne I have been using these for over 40 years and I love them ❤

[herewegofans]

Great video. Have these that I use to switch in and out of several boats. I made a similar tool with a piece of aluminum sch 40 pipe but added one trick more to the tool. I drilled a cross hole on the opposite end where I can place a screwdriver or fishing pliers and tighten. I found some times on trips these things get loose so needed to fix on water and wet hands made my old pvc tool an issue. I store in shed when not using and my set looks a great as the day I purchased after several years. I rinse when I return, dry, then spray hardware with fluid film before putting these and engine in storage.

Mount the seat to a piece of wood whatever your bench size is then mount the wood and seat to the bench with some self tapping screws. Thats what i did back in 1999 and there still strong and working great. You can paint the wood first or carpet them

When you named your tool I immediately called you grandpa in my head. Love the wisdom

[Johnwractliffe]

Super cool idea. I’ve hurt my back bending over trying to turn the wing nut with a pair of pliers whilst on the water. 🙏

[jamiecarter]

You have sold me. Thanks. Will be perfect for my wife and I to enjoy a day of

[joeykennedy]

I think this is going to work out perfect for my boat seat for driving

[stanleydavis]

Just redid my big flat boat mounted a permanent seat in the driver's side that I can slide out but I'm thinking about using those for the rest of the seats those are pretty nice and convenient.

[joehozzy]

I'm about to get one of these. My boat is used exclusively in salt water. I just intend to spray fisholene on the mounting bracket every couple of months (to prevent corrosion).

[joedirt]

I have the same seats on my aluminum boat, I put them on when I arrive at the lake and remove them again before leaving the lake. I never trailer with the seats installed and they are stored indoors, hoping they last awhile.

[brianmclean]

Does the extra angle metal help on the front side? Thanks for the tool idea!

[Getdownorlaydownbum]

Im get 2 of these for my 14 foot John boat

[williambruce]

Could the rust be from the aluminum anodized the steel. The same used to happen with trucks and vans. Yours does do that because of power coat and seasonal removal.

[AlexanderMouzas]

Nice video! What do you use in the bearings to keep them from binding up? Silicone? Grease?

[dannyadorno]

Hi I'm just getting my son into the fishing world do you have a link to seats?

[jameschapman]

did the 1X piece of wood help keep it stable?
I have same kind of seat mounts and appreciate this video, I like being able to remove for winter months.
