My Buddy Needs Some Help

He has a Fiberglas bass boat with rod lockers on both sides of the front deck. He is wanting to mount 2 pedestal bases for spider rigging. It looks like the bases are going to have to mount to the rod locker lids. Any ideas or pics ?

Thanks,
Cockrum

I'd go with one of Wayne's Dub-L-Seats. No mounting to the lid and he can take it out when he's not using it.

Mount em in the deck lids, I HATE a dadgum seat thinga ma jig all in the way, getting old and clumsy!!!!

If you mount them to the locker tops you best be ready to beef up those lids or you might wind up in the lake from metal fatigue.

Put some good latches on those lids if you mount seat bases to them or somebody will go in the lake

Just makes for good entertainment!!!!!!:Rofl
Fender washers on good lids is all you need, could put a plate, depends on the lid. First few times you use em check em and titen as needed till they get good and tite. Good luck. Latches optional!!:Rofl

I would put a big piece of aluminum on the back side of rod door to he distribute the weight. JMO

agree with speck.....we use something similar to a dbl seat, and it works good without mounting anything.

I made a base for mine.send me your email and ill send you the pics.don't know how to post'em here

Attachment 154316Attachment 154317this is the way I put mine in, the little plates underneath are 1/4 inch stainless for reinforcement

Attachment 154322Attachment 154321 this is how I did it,the cat is optional

Attachment 154323I was lucky that I was able to get the right spacing and still have access to my compartments. I have fishing partners that far exceed what a lid would support.The trolling motor foot control is not mounted so it can be operated from either seat.

I chickened out on putting holes in my rod boxes I went with EZ pole perch and I love it. 108 bucks

I use the cumberland crappie double seat on mine. No drilling.
