Common Concerns Answered
Do I need to purchase a swivel or slide separately for this pedestal?
Yes, this Springfield Marine Posi-Lock pedestal is designed as a base post and requires the separate purchase of a compatible 2-7/8" Trac-Lock™ slide or swivel to attach your seat.
Is this pedestal suitable for temporary installations?
