How to secure boat seat mount

Post by HeneryHawk » Sun May 30, 2010 11:13 pm

Hey guys I am trying to mount a boat seat mount in a small fiberglass boat bench seat. I was thinking of using exploding rivets, but I might have to cut a access hole so I can use stainless bolts. I just wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks here is a pics of what I have.

My brother made the mounts for me since I didn't like the clamp on mounts.

Are the seats in that boat foam filled or hollow? More than likely there is some wood framing that seat. You might put down some epoxy and place a few stainless screws into the wood. If the seats are hollow. you might consider toggle bolts. Or as mentioned already, use rivets!

They are hollow with no wood. Rivets and epoxy is probably the way to go.

when they rivet kayaks they use huge rivets.. i forgot what what they were called.. i think aircraft or ship rivets.. not sure.. but they are way bigger then usual rivets.

rivets you can allways drill out.

Looking at the way that seat base is, I'm thinking that a couple strips of 1" wide 3M automotive double sided tape on the top and on each vertical support, and it shouldn't go anywhere. Just make sure it's clean before you stick it on. If it will hold door molding and hood cowelings, it should hold a seat in place.
