What is the best way to attach seats with backs to the boat?

We purchased a swivel frame from Gander Mountain, had them on amazon also, wasn't expensive. then mounted the seat on swivel base and a wood frame with carpet where it might touch and rub the boat. Works great and with the backs, it saved a lot of back fatique. Can't post a picture right now as too cold to go outside and take one, but will post one as soon as we can.

There is wood under the plastic then foam. Drill a small hole in proper location follow up with larger wood bolts/screws seat on a bed of liq. Nail compound. A larger hole must be made to seat the center door nob cutter works

I would suggest you NOT do that as raising the center of gravity at ALL makes the boat more unstable

The only way is to get the slider base and because the seat is a plastic polymer material, devise some way of antislip for the slider base grips.

There are seats that can be clamped to the existing seat. I would not drill any holes. These clampseats fit perfect and can be removed easily if needed.

Lay it out in open area. Put sides on each end, bottom and back in appropriate location . It then snaps together, Put seat lid on Last.Take your time and it will come together. Works better if 2 people are doing it

I'm not sure if they make one. But if you're a mechanical guy, I think you could invent one. There are three tube like holders that are for fishing poles on all 4 corners of the boat. My boyfriend found PVC pipe that fits in the holes snugly. We were gunna take some 4 foot PVC pipes and tie or glue a lightweight sheet to the end of the 4 pipes. Put the pipes in the fishing pole holes, which would stretch the fabric above your head, and "whalla!"... A home made canopy.

If I remember correctly, the seat and back are two pieces that connect and the chords are already in place. You have to attach the arms and the base and casters. It's fairly easy and can all be done with the included Allen wrench in 15 minutes. The chords are round and very comfortable.

When you slide the seat back on, there is a hole on each side of the posts in the back towards the bottom. There aren't any holes in the fabric, so you have to poke the hole as you screw the screws into the pre-drilled holes. I hope this helps.

Yes all the seats come out very easy. They also go in very easy. I would suggest the oar be replace with 5 ft wood oars much better results rowing. The one that come withe boat break easy.

The foam should work fine. You may want to look into marine grade vinyl for the covers as boat cushions tend to have excessive sun and (salt) water exposure.

I didn't get instructions either! Amazon had me contact the manufacturer and they didn't respond. They were OK to assemble, look at the screw holes, in the front of the seat they are closer together than in the back. Don't fully tighten the screws until you have all 4 in. Good luck!

The 2 screws hold the back rest fabric on the steel uprights. If you slide the backrest fabric up a little bit, you'll see 2 holes in the steel uprights. Slide the fabric back down and run the screws through the fabric into the steel upright posts. This will keep the fabric from falling off when carrying the chair in the folded position.

I found a way of attaching your everyday screw down rod holder. Drill holes in seats and use insert nuts. See my review for pictures.

The seats fit in the glider channels very snugly. Once installed they remain there. Too reposition them one must get up, remove, and reinstall in the new position. I also fish alone and it is a very nice boat.

First put chair seat upside down on table, center chair frame over it and then using a large nail and hammer make a small indention in the wood where the self starting screws are supposed to go. (You can use a drill, but it is not necessary) Then attach the seat with the screws since they now have a starting hole. We like our chairs very much.

The two screws are used to fasten the backrest to the frame. You should be able to find two openings in the part of the frame that supports the backrest; note where the screw holes are, slide the backrest fabric over both sides of the frame, and then insert the screws through the fabric into the holes you've noted.

I sit in the back, so that my weight keeps the skeg down and the boat will track better. If you'd rather sit in the front, you might try putting your gear in the back net to weight down the back end.

I bought the kind of seat cushions you might use for patio furniture. I got them at K-Mart in their Garden Furniture area.I'm not sure you can find anything that would fit these chairs with an attached back cushion, so I just got seat cushions.

There is a tag on the inside edge marked Front. Just pass the edge through hand to hand until you find it. To make this unnessecery in the future, I remove the cover from the rear, folding to the front until it is laying across the front.then stuff the roll from one side into the mesh bag. Then I reverse process to install. Works quick and smooth. Faster if you have two people, one on each side of the boat.Good luck. Bill

I did not drill on my boat either. I just hook it over the side where the resting pads are against the boat. When we are done playing I just fold it up and put it under the seat...our heaviest person is 275 and it works just fine
