Common Concerns Answered
Will the E-coat finish on the mild steel base corrode in saltwater?
While the base is constructed from mild steel with an E-coat finish, the top swivel plate is stainless steel. In prolonged harsh saltwater exposure, the E-coat may eventually chip or corrode, a point to consider if absolute, perpetual corrosion resistance is the sole priority. For extreme conditions, inspect and maintain the finish regularly.
Is a locking mechanism important for this type of swivel?
This model features a non-locking 0-degree swivel, providing unrestricted 360-degree rotation. For applications where seat position must remain fixed during navigation or in rough seas, a locking swivel might be preferred. This mount is ideal for general seating rotation where fixed positioning is not critical.
How does the material compare to all-stainless steel options?
This mount utilizes a stainless steel top plate for primary contact and rotation surfaces, offering good corrosion resistance. The mild steel base with E-coat provides a cost-effective solution. While offering robust functionality, it's important to note that an all-stainless steel construction, like some competitors, may offer superior long-term corrosion resistance in the most aggressive marine environments.
