    Seaspension Pedestal/Post Adjustment

    As Reefrunner stated, just call Ian, the new owner at Seaspension, and give him the particulars about weight, type of boating you do, etc. That should be a quick turnaround on the pedestal to get it adjusted properly. The majority of pedestals are set for the majority of the people, but if you...

    Any wisdom on reducing the pounding?

    One of the easiest ways to lessen the pounding significantly is to let a true shock-mitigation system take the pounding for you. Lots of Parker owners (and the Parker factory) have discovered Seaspension many years ago. Some Parker Dealers won't sell a boat without it. www.seaspension.com

    Seating in cockpit 2320

    Get the real deal - not a copycat. Seaspension made Bench Posts for a variety of high profile customers, all with independent suspension, many years before Propedestal was experimenting with his. They are all still operating with the utmost customer satisfaction, some of them more than 15 years...

    2120 Bench Seat ProPedestal Installation

    This sounds wonderful if you have the patience, time, and wherewithal to do the prototyping for someone else. Seaspension has been doing independent suspension bench-type pedestals since the product first came out, when the first bench unit was designed to mount above a live bait well back in...

    Seaspension vs. ProPedestal?

    Thank you all for the great reviews on Seaspension. We try to make a difference by providing a great product with a personal touch in customer service. I have shared a post before regarding testing of the ProPedestal as that manufacturer hadn't tested his own pedestal before he put his product...

    SEASPENSION/CAPTAIN CHAIR QUESTION

    You make a good point! Even sitting on a piece of plywood on top of any shock-mitigating pedestal sitting still will make it uncomfortable after a while. It is a systems approach (seat and whatever is below it) that makes for great results.

    SEASPENSION/CAPTAIN CHAIR QUESTION

    Please remember that we put a "seated weight" limit of 275 lbs on our pedestals. That means seat plus occupant weight. It is very easy to double, triple or quadruple this weight when you encounter waves at speed. You'll find that the pedestal takes most if not all of the discomfort out when you...

    SEASPENSION/CAPTAIN CHAIR QUESTION

    Hi Jim, The pedestal has 3.5" of travel. The damper is velocity sensitive, so it gets progressively stiffer the harder you slam the boat. We did a test for Boating Magazine late last year with a 25' Parker, (posted on our website), and the accelerometers showed more absorption (fewer G's) when...

    SEASPENSION/CAPTAIN CHAIR QUESTION

    I'm not sure what Cecil sells the Seaspension pedestals for, but they are a loyal Seaspension customer and buy directly from Seaspension. To be totally transparent, I am the President of Seaspension. Others have opted to purchase directly from Parker Boats as they also sell Seaspension as an...

    Helm chair replacement advice needed.

    We wanted to do an announcement re. the shows Parker is displaying Seaspension at various boat shows, but did not get permission, nor did we want to "Spam" anyone. Feel free to visit the Seaspension website or the Parker Facebook where the schedule is posted. Hopefully you can see it for...

    Helm chair replacement advice needed.

    That picture of 2x Dual post Seaspension units is a hoot! I thought we were pretty "out of the box" innovators, but this takes the cake. We would love to have a JPG of this pictures and post it on our website www.seaspension.com. Just in case if you are still looking for a seat, don't hesitate...

    Pictures of your boat cresting waves

    Very nice. Please keep them coming. Maybe we should have a contest, and the winner will get a free Seaspension pedestal. :D Can I get a JPEG sent to [email protected] so it can be checked for quality once we enlarge it up. Thanks.
