    Default Boat swivels and seats?


    Need some ideas and pictures if available for what kind and how to mount swivels on 12 ft tracker Jon boat. Do you use metal screws to secure since you can’t get under the seat to use bolts and nuts? Thanks

    I used big rivets, got a big cheap rivet gun from Harbor Freight.

    Look at rivnuts online. Easy to install, cheap and very strong.

    You might want to look at the spider leg style to see if they would work to straddle your bench seats. They give you some flexibility to move them around to where you need them, or take them out as needed. The side-by-side seat base has been great for me and my kids. Wise and Tempress are two companies I know for sure that make them, I'm sure there are others too. You can put the swivel base on them like you posted above, but I put the pin style base in them for greater flexibility so I can swap seats from the single style to my double.
