| Okay, I watched the video, I like what I see. Question is how does one go about locating them. I havn't been able to find a thing regarding these.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks |

| I had the prototype for these a year ago. But at that time, they did not have the base on them, they were for the round slide in bases. So I could not use them, and returned them without actually gettint to try them. They seemed to really work, though, to reduce the shock of riding in rough conditions.
The other thing about those, and what looks like the seat that TJ installed, is that they do not yet lock in a froward position. This is very important for the driver's seat, and also the front passenger. I think it is a regulation that the driver seat must lock forward.
Also, a lot higher than the base an post that comes in the X-190. That would not be an issue in a deeper V like my Tuffy 1890, but in the x-190, I would think it would have you sitting up too high. Plus, they seemed to wobble at the base. Should that be tightened down? |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Shep, on the road and in the car, but the short answer is that the seat does lock down in a forward position. When sitting on the seat, the height is similar to the standard seat base. Four bolts secure the post to the base, watch the video you'll see that it's locked in. There are three height adjustments. |

| What locks it from turning. It certainly looked like the black tube turned freely. Also, you must have tightened the 4 bolts in the base, because there was definately some play there. And that post is at least 8" higher than the post/base you removed. I'm just saying. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | It locks the same way as the mechanism on the other post. Yes, the four bolts that secure the post to the base were tightened. The seat height is not much higher when your sitting on it. In other words, the seat compresses when weight is put on it. |

I suppose it depends upon how much you weigh...for Shep it would compress more than it would for say....ME! 
I'm not saying...I'm just saying.....

| OK, I'll not argue until I get my hands on it. But from the video, I saw the black outer post turn, and don't see how it could lock solid.
Wade, what's with the abuse!? You mad because I made you take that good rod for a template? |

| Talked with Kevin today. Yes they do lock in a forward position. Didn't get into the specific's on the how. Will have a more in depth conversation with him next week. He did tell me the price on these will be $149.00 each, with the base included. As I said, I had a pair of these in my hands last summer, and they have a unique design. They do adjust in height. I've got a pair on the way. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | If you are looking for some rough water tests, I would be more than happy to do a full report provided you send me a pair. They will be returned with a full report. |

| Will this be available without the bell pedistal base. I have the Swivl-Eze 238 Series plug-in pedistal bases behind the consoles of the boat and would prefer to keep it that way. |
