what is the solution for a pedestal pin that has a little too much play inside the pedestal base, where the chair wobbles just a little. can anything be wrapped on the pin of the pedestal to make it a more snug fit inside the pedestal base? thanks.

I have the same wobble. I am thinking of replacing the base.
You can replace the bushing in the base....GrizzlyJig has them both the brass ones and the nylon ones....the nylon ones last a lot longer than the brass ones in my opinion.
A new base is around 40 bucks the bushings are about 5 bucks.....something like that.

never seen a bushing in ours, g.
What type pedistall do you have duck? I am talking about the ones where the post has a 3/4 in. pin that sticks in a hole in the base....the base has a replaceable bushing that the post pin fits into.
mine is the same base, the only thing i can see from the top of the base is the round metal ring, looks to be built into the base. could not find the bushings on grizzly jig.
The round metal ring is the bushing'''''you have to remove the base and take a hammer and a punch and knock the bushing out from the other side.....that ring is the rim of the bushing. When the bushing wears.....the seat post starts rocking. The bushings are in the GrizzlyJig catalog......call them by phone to order them because they are not on the website.
thanks, g..........removing the base in my glass boat may be a problem, as its under the carpet..........will have to see.
