MOUNTING GUIDELINES
For best utilization of your helmsman seat, it is recommended
that the seat be mounted:
a) As high as possible to enable a clear view over the
bow.
b) As close as possible to the wheel, leaving just enough
room to slide onto the seat from the side (see Fig. 1).
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL 75055
1. Position seat on port or starboard bulkhead of boat so it
will conform to the Mounting Guidelines given above.
Mark a line on the bulkhead where the seat bottom is
positioned (see Fig. 1). Make certain that the line is:
a) no higher above the deck than the stanchion leg’s
measured length;
b) parallel to the deck’s surface;
c) located on a good, solid surface suitable for mounting.
NOTE: This line will be used to position U-brackets (A) in step 8.
2. Refer to Fig. 2 and position both support brackets (B) on
the bottom of the seat so that:
a) Support bracket is allowed to extend a minimum of 1"
from seat bottom (However, make certain that all screw
holes are located on the seat bottom.);
b) Brackets are spread apart from each other on seat
bottom for maximum support and stability;
c) Bracket’s centerlines are parallel to each other. This will
allow proper hinging action.
NOTE: It is allowable to mount support brackets over the hinge
on the seat bottom for correct positioning.
3. Mark the bracket’s hole locations on the seat bottom and
drill all with a 1/8" bit.
4. Secure the brackets to the seat bottom by aligning the
holes and using screws (C).
5. Snap both socket castings (D) over grooved ends of H-leg
(E).
6. Position socket castings (D) with H-leg (E) attached on seat
bottom so they are centered on the seat’s side and at least
2" from the edge. Make sure that the flat side of the
sockets face toward the mounted support brackets (see
Fig. 2). Mark both socket’s mounting holes and drill them
with a 1/8" bit. Secure both castings in position with 8
screws (C).

line drawn in step 1. Mark the bracket’s hole locations on
the side bulkhead and drill all 4 holes with a 1/8" bit (see
Fig. 3).

brackets and align them with the drilled holes on the side
bulkhead. Secure with 4 screws (C).

mounting bracket’s holes, inserting bolts (F) and securing

11. Insert the grooved ends of H-leg (E) into both socket
castings mounted on seat. Check to see that seat bottom is
parallel to deck surface (see Fig. 4). If not, cut off the
appropriate length of tubing on opposite end with a
hacksaw. Slip polytips (H) on ends of H-leg.
