The plastic seat hook is a reliable solution for securing a bench seat in your inflatable boat. It keeps the wooden bench firmly in place, preventing unwanted shifting or rocking, thus improving comfort and safety on the water. Installation is very straightforward – each hook attaches to the underside of the seat with three screws. You will need two hooks per bench (one at each end) to lock the seat onto the boat’s tubes. This accessory is especially useful for smaller inflatable dinghies (around 3–3.3 m) where removable benches must be held securely to the pontoons.
These seat hooks are crafted from high-quality plastic that withstands saltwater, sun exposure, and temperature variations. The material won’t corrode and is UV-stabilized, ensuring a long service life even with continuous use throughout the boating season. The grey color blends with most inflatable boats and resists fading. When properly installed, the hooks can bear the weight of seated passengers and absorb wave impacts without deforming.
Use Cases & Recommendations:
- Bench Seating: Use two hooks per bench seat (one on each side) for maximum stability of the seat during boating.
- Installation Tips: Mark the screw positions and pre-drill pilot holes in the seat board. Secure the screws firmly but avoid over-tightening to prevent stressing the plastic.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit standard inflatable boat bench setups (compatible with EVAL and similar seat systems). They latch into corresponding seat patches or brackets on the tubes for a snug fit.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the hooks and screws before each trip. If you frequently remove the bench, consider keeping a spare hook or two on hand for quick replacement in case of loss or damage.
