If you pull the pin out can you take the seats off and leave the mount bolted on the boat? I basically want to be able to easily take the seats on/off

Yes, if you remove the pin the mount will separate into two parts. If you remove the pin the mount swivels so there are options for use.

Yes. A spring loaded pin is retracted by pushing a button to release . While holding the pin release, pull the aluminum shafts apart.

Yes, you definitely can! We have a a lot of customers separately buy seat attachments for their boards. You can buy d-rings (http://bit.ly/1q8G1ZX) if the seat doesn't come with any, and install the d-rings on the sides of the board to easily attach and detach the seat. A lot of people use inflatable boards for fishing--because of their weight capacities--or for paddling like a kayak/canoe--because of the board's stability. I hope this helps! -Allison Tower Paddle Boards

Yes, of course you can. I'm using this feature from time to time and it works just fine. The only inconvenience is than I have to check my position periodically because I don't have mount point on my kayak.

Yes you can. You have to drill and tap holes on the top of the receiver, but it can be done. I would go this route as I am not a fan of adding saddles to the receiver as you have to replace the pins and use the ones that come with the saddle. This can lead to a couple of issues, over tightening which can lead to bunching and locking when trying to rack, or the possibility of having the pins strip or fail. Using this rail with some BLUE (not RED) LockTite, would almost guarantee a permanent install.

Yes, it can be removed relatively easily by removing 4 removable pins that hold the seat into the included mounting brackets. It does rattle quite a bit---but that's because it a loose fit in the bracket to aid in removal. You can replace the pins with bolts if you want to lessen the rattle.

You shouldn't need to open it. The pins just move up and down by pushing on them or pulling them out (sort of pull them from the edge)

Once you get it installed, If its in the way, its easy to take it off the boat by just undoing the two wing nuts. I put one of these on my Bass boat and sometimes I don't need it, so I just take it off as it only takes seconds to remove. The initial install of the bimini isn't hard, but takes some time, but once thats done, removing it and putting it back is very simple, or you can buy some braces that will hold it up at an angle that will allow you to open hatches etc without it being in the way. I really like having it and am glad I bought it.

When I removed my mirror I just had to remove the nuts. The bolts are attached to the mirror so the are hidden from the outside for cosmetics only. It makes it way easier just to thread on the nuts from the inside, no holding bolts to keep from turning. I would see about removing the bolts from your mount.

It detaches relatively quickly by unscrewing the two hand screws that hold it in the clamps. I can get it off in a few seconds. It takes slightly longer to put back on because you need to re-center it and line it up. You could probably make some marks on the mounting poles that indicate your preferred position.

Not really. It's cumbersome to take on and off so I understand why you might want to keep the seat post attachment on. I live in NYC and keep the attachment on. To deter theft from that, I epoxied a bb (small metal balls) into the hex nut holes. But the surfboard rack themselves is another story. I doubt you want to keep those on your bike at all times, but it's less of a pain to remove those. Sorry. Hope it helps

Yes just remove the Allen bolt out of the pin with the supplied Allen wrench and the clip comes right off. Very easy to do. Hope that helps.

I guess this would depend on your individual setup. But for me, since I have a center console bass boat, I have attached mine on the console with a Ram mount. That way I can rotate it around when I sit on the front casting deck.

I looked at it this morning and it appears the sadle is held in place with a pin that is passes through the pivoting frame and eled to the saddle. So my answer would be no it can not be removed very easily to place an adapter on it.

You can unscrew the coil from the mount. A weather cap is also included for when you do this.

Although I have not attempted to remove the pins it does appear that they can be taken off once the screw is removed.. I hope this helps..

Once you tighten the hitch, you can 'unlock' the adjustment knob. It will then freespin. So you won't be able to remove the rack
