It uses a mechanical pin-lock rather than a gas spring, eliminating slow sinking under load while the black powder coat protects the steel both inside and out. The top and bottom 7 x 7 inch plates accept common bolt patterns, making this an easy swap for worn or corroded pedestals on jon boats, bass boats, saltwater skiffs, and most fishing craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I change the pedestal height when I need a different seat level?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising or lowering the pedestal takes seconds: pull the release pin, slide the inner tube to the selected notch, and drop the pin back into place.
