Seat Slider – 340/510 mm (Sliding Seat Track)

This seat slider is an essential accessory for any boat’s helm station, allowing you to tailor the seat position to the operator’s preference. It enables you to slide the seat approximately 17 cm (6–7 inches) forward or backward, letting you adjust the distance to the wheel and controls perfectly for your height and posture. The sliding track installs between the seat and its base (pedestal or deck mount) and is compatible with almost all standard setups (plate size about 33x18 cm with a universal bolt pattern).

The slider’s construction uses high-strength steel and aluminum components engineered to withstand the marine environment. The track rails are treated against corrosion (either anodized or galvanized), ensuring smooth sliding action without degradation from salt or moisture. The locking mechanism features a convenient side lever: lifting it frees the seat to move, and releasing it automatically locks the seat into the nearest preset position. This guarantees that your chosen seat position stays rock-solid, with no unwanted creeping while underway or due to engine vibration.

The slider is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with various seat bases. It fits perfectly on adjustable-height pedestals (such as codes 04244-50 and 04244-75) and can also be combined with a swivel seat plate (code 04315) for full versatility – your seat can both slide fore/aft and swivel. When used with a swivel, the slider mounts on top of the swivel base, and the seat attaches to the slider, creating a modular system for maximum convenience.

By using this slider, you greatly improve the ergonomics of your boat’s helm. For example, on long cruises you can slide the seat back for a more relaxed posture, and for maneuvers or docking you can slide it forward for better control and visibility. After a day on the water, the mechanism even allows you to push the seat all the way back, opening up space in the cockpit. Built for marine use, the slider will perform reliably season after season with minimal upkeep.

• Typical use cases: Installed under captain and co-pilot seats on motorboats, RIBs, and cruisers – anywhere adjusting the distance to the dash is beneficial. It’s especially valuable on boats where operators alternate between standing and seated driving – with the slider, the seat can be pushed back out of the way for standing, and pulled forward for comfortable sitting.
• Compatibility: Designed for standard 4-bolt seat mounts. It fits practically all common swivel mounts and pedestals (e.g., EVAL models code 04244, 04265-NS, 04315, etc.). Its universal nature means it can even be used outside of marine applications – for example, in specialty vehicles, tractors, or construction machinery where adjustable seating is needed.
• Installation & maintenance: To install, attach the bottom of the slider to the base (pedestal or flat surface) with bolts, then mount the seat to the top sliding plate. Use all provided hardware and tighten securely. It’s recommended to periodically clean the rails of sand and debris and apply a light silicone grease or marine lubricant to ensure smooth action. Regularly check the mounting bolts – vibrations can loosen them over time, so re-tighten if necessary. Lastly, avoid excessive force or shock loads (e.g., slamming the seat at the end of its travel) to keep the mechanism durable and free of deformation.
