Has anyone had to replace the pin that locks the cockpit seats in place from Swiveling? Not sure if I can get just the pin or I need a whole mechanism. Seats are the original from Factory. 2016 gulfstream.
 
On the boats I have owned, the rotating ( swiveling ?) is controlled by a knob you turn to loch the seat to the pedestal. The spring loaded pin is often there to lock the seat height position.. I don't know if that applies to your seat but take a look for knobs that turn ( or should turn)

Who makes the seat? You can try reaching out to that company.

The picture is fuzzy and doesn't show much detail - nor is there a picture of the seat/spider assembly.

BUT... it "might" be a standard 1/4" pin with a little locking ball at the top end? Those are pretty common - very common - you can probably even find it a local (real) hardware store - maybe HD. Online, as well.
