Has anyone ever replaced their helm seat on a 180? Looking to upgrade since the OEM one sits so low. Thanks!
I am talking about sitting higher. The oem one is so low..can’t see over the center console without standing. Nothing to do with trimming or anything. Looks like Stryker makes some higher upHard to say without seeing pics - the online brochure looks like it's about normal? Are you trimming properly - or are you running with the bow too high?
Are you trying to go higher... or do you really mean "closer".
But... just make a spacer between the cushion and frame if you're talking about going higher. Or unfasten the frame from the floor and refasten the seat closer if that's what you're after. Replacing it is going to get into big money (other than some cheapie overseas seat, anyways).
Sounds good! Will doI have the same boat 180 with the swing back seat/leaning post.
I was looking at new leaning posts/bench seats today at the fishing show in Providence, some nice options out there depending on budget. They have standard models with a few options that are around $1500-$1800 depending if you get rod holders, seat back etc... custom ones with storage cabinet/drawers are spendy.
The boat with the original seat isn't designed to be driven sitting down so when looking at new check the height to be sure it gets you up where you need to be to see. Post some photos if you upgrade.
