Abstract: The invention is a pedestal mount for a boat seat including means for locking the seat in selected rotational positions or permitting the seat to swivel in either direction. A cylindrical sleeve attached to the seat rotates within the vertical stanchion. A series of apertures in the sleeve are engaged by a locking pin to stop rotation of the seat in a selected position. A circumferential groove in the sleeve may be engaged by the locking pin, permitting the sleeve and seat to rotate but not be withdrawn from the stanchion.

Abstract: A pedestal assembly for a boat seat is disclosed which combines in a single lever adjustment the ability to raise and lower the seat as well as to lock or unlock the seat to permit clockwise and counterclockwise swivel action, as well as moving the seat fore and aft with respect to the pedestal. The lever is pulled up for vertical adjustments up or down. The lever is pushed down facilitating clockwise or counterclockwise pivoting about the pedestal of the seat. When the lever is released it is spring-biased to a neutral position. Depending on the configuration, the seat can be locked in one or more swivelled positions about the pedestal.

When the lever is released it is spring-biased to a neutral position. Depending on the configuration, the seat can be locked in one or more swivelled positions about the pedestal. The seat can be easily detached from the pedestal through a mechanism which remains on the seat mount so that it will not be lost in the boat or overboard. The detachment pin assembly also provides positive feedback that the seat has been properly secured to the pedestal and locked.
