Does anyone know if and where I can get a replacement clamp to tighten the swivel for a captains chair on a 94 Sailfish. It basically a "U" bolt with one side very long that has the knob on the end to clamp the chair in place and keep it from swiveling. Thanks much.
 
Look on Ebay. There are 2 sales under the heading Grady White. I think one is for just the "U" bolt (about $13.00) and one for the complete bolt/knob assembly (about $16.00)
 
Got two from a GW dealer for 10,95 USD (the full set, including handle)... call GW!
 
Here's a link to the image I sent to GW (just to be sure, since I live a long way away...)

You may want to save this image and email to the shop...Forget the mention of GW model - chairs should be the same...(?)

Not to highjack the thread, but what should be done to keep the thing from breaking? Does adding grease or graphite to the pivot post tend to make you want to tighten it up too much? Hence, stripping out threads or breaking the cheesy handle. We all have the same thing right? Also, I only have 1-small donut plastic bushing in the base for the swivel post. The replacement bushings at West Marine are much bigger. The bottom of the post is aluminum against aluminum; doesn't seem right.
