Seat bracket and cushion replacement??

[Deleted]

I have a 1999 235WA and am looking for cushions and also the mounting brackets/slides for the two helm chairs. I could also just replace the whole seats if I had to but I'd rather not. They appear to be on 2 7/8" pedestals but I'd prefer to find replacement parts as the molded seats are in fine shape.

Does anyone know which brackets will fit? The bolt pattern appears to be different from those I have found online from Wise or Springfield for instance. I am not sure if I could retrofit another bolt pattern - if anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Also need new cushions. There are several inexpensive aftermarket cushions available. I am curious if anyone knows which will fit.

Who made these chairs?



thanks!!!

When I was looking to replace mine (ended up going leaning post) The closest thing I found was at greatlakesskipper.com Not exact. greatlakesskipper.com/wise-8wd013-3-710-white-vinyl-plastic-boat-pilot-helm-chair-seat-w-cushions

Hardware can be found here... greatlakesskipper.com/boat-seating

another option... www.amazon.com/Wise-Standard-Pilot-15-Feet-Pedestal/dp/B000NOSHLM/ref=sr_1_82?ie=UTF8&qid=1414065299&sr=8-82&keywords=boat+seat

Thanks for the info.
It appears there are several main line makers that have similar seats but it's hard to tell if their cushions will fit ok. Closest looking seat I saw was a Todd Jupiter. They are harder to find and the cushions are more expensive as a byproduct of that. I may just have to take a chance and try some although I hate ordering and then sending back item after item - or I could simply buy new seats altogether. Springfield Admiral cushions are widely available and cheap but Ive not seen them in person to know if they would fit or if they are worth a flip.
If anyone else has anything to share please do - I'm going to take some better measurements this weekend.

Freezer, what kind of leaning post did you go with? You have a pict? Thinking about it.
