Measure Available Space

Determine Your Preferred Number of Passengers.
  • Keep this number in mind as you shop, it will help to narrow down your search.
Identify any Storage Needs.
  • If there isn’t enough storage on your boat, consider choosing a boat seat base with storage underneath.
Note Your Current Seat Style.
  • If you are replacing seats, especially just a few, then you’ll want to choose something with a similar style as the old seats to maintain continuity in the look and feel.
Save Mounting Hardware.
  • New boat seats usually don't come with any mounting hardware, so be sure to save screws, bolts, etc. from your old seats. If you do end up needing some replacement hardware, you should be able to find what you need at your local hardware store.
Think About Related Items You Might Need.
  • hopping for seats is also a good time to shop for furniture and accessories, this way you can coordinate with the seats, and save money by purchasing in groups.
General tips to consider:
  • Refuse delivery of a damaged package and it will get sent back straight away. This will be the easiest time to take care of a return for a damaged item.
  • Open the box with a key instead of a knife to avoid damaging upholstery.
  • Place the seat and then mark the edges with tape to have reference when installing the mount.
  • Double check the area underneath your mounting spot to make sure you won’t be drilling in to anything you could damage like wires or tanks.
  • Use the wide 'fender' washers to prevent the deck from cracking, and lock nuts to keep the seat from wiggling loose.
  • After you place a mounting bracket, drill the screw holes one at a time adding a bolt after each hole to keep the bracket in position.
Tools you might need:
  • Adjustable wrench or socket wrench
  • Philips screw driver or electric screw driver
  • Electric drill, drill bits, and hole saw
  • Rubber mallet
Installing different types of boat seats

The specifics of boat seat mounting vary widely depending on seat style, boat type, and application. Here we provide you with what materials we have available on various seat installations.

Follow this guide to obtain all the measurements you need to select replacement seats for your pontoon boat.
Be sure to take measurements inside the rails, and account for any rail support braces or other obstructions.

Measuring a Pontoon Boat for Replacement Seats
  1. A. Measure from port to starboard rails. Most pontoon boats will be 89"-93" (add 1" of extra space for vinyl and foam rails)
    2. Measure pontoon boat from port to starboard rails
  2. B. Measure the distance from the rear rail to the side gate.
    3. Measure pontoon boat from rear rail to side gate
  3. C. Measure the distance from the front rail to the side gate.
    4. Measure pontoon boat from front rail to side gate
  4. D. Note if your pontoon boat's inside corners are rounded or square. If they are rounded, you will need to know what radius the corner seats should have.
    5. Note pontoon boat inside corners

    The seat radius is how wide the rounded edge on a corner seat is, and is important to know because you'll want your seat to fit snugly against the railing.

How to Measure a Pontoon Boat Railing Corner Radius
Measuring pontoon boat railing corner radius
  • Place a tape measure on the railing where the curve begins. Place another tape measure on the other side of the corner.
  • Extend the two tape measures until they intersect. Adjust their angles until they each intersect at the same point.
  • The measurement on the tapes where they both intersect is the radius of the railing corner.
  • For example, if they intersect at 2.5 inches, then the radius is 2.5 inches.

Choosing an appropriate seat pedestal can be a confusing task. To help you select, measure, and install boat seat pedestals for your application, please refer to our boat seat pedestal application chart.

In addition to different pedestal styles, there are also safety ratings to consider. Since 1996, boat seat pedestals have been categorized by three basic safety standards recommended by the American Boat & Yacht Council or (ABYC). These standards help boaters to choose the safest pedestal to fit their needs. Class A pedestals (both AD & AP) means they can be used at any speed, while class B pedestals should only be used at speeds 5 mph or less, such as when trolling. The graphic and table below explain the three types:
