Help identifying table pedestal

[SBH2OMan]

Our dinette uses these flush mount pedestal bases. Unfortunately they are made of aluminum and one totally rotted out and the other is close to going. I'd like to find an exact match so that the screw holes line up. Does anyone know where Parker might have sourced these back in the early to mid 90's?

Dimensions are exactly 6" square with a 2-1/4" socket that is 1-7/8" deep. Screw holes are spaced 2-1/2" on center.

They look very similar to the ones on my 19 2530 with a dinette. Poles for my table have a sticker on them from Todd. I can try and make it to the boat and get more details or measurements maybe but that is my guess. Based on a google search here is what I was able to turn up. Looking at the pictures I cant tell if there is the threaded center section or not for the bottom of the pole to screw onto.

Thanks. That does look very much like them (unthreaded). I will dig around and try to find exact dimensions. There seem to be a number of companies making these pedestal mounts and they all look very similar and are made of aluminum.

Just did a bit of research on that one. Looks like it is for a 2.0" post, and mine measures 2.25". I found his generic one for RVs that appears to be the correct dimensions, and because it is sold by an RV shop and doesn't have the word "marine" associated with it, they are only $10 each! We'll see if they work... Security Check

Just went to the boat and took some pictures. I have attached. Sounds like the non marine versions and cheaper prices is a way to go. Based on my observation on the boat, the flange that screws on is plastic and riveted to the post. The flange seems to be square. Not sure overall how the website really correlates to what is installed on the boat and a phone call may be more helpful than just internet searching. Hope its helpful but wanted to share.

Thank you for taking the time to take those pictures and send them, I really appreciate it! When you install the pedestals, do they "screw in"? It looks like there is a threaded post in the center of the "cup" that goes up into the pedestal (which would make it very secure - good design). Mine aren't built that way.

The picture of the hole in the bottom of the black piece shows the threads. It does screw down for a tight connection in the floor before putting the table on top of it. I did not see any part numbers on anything for easy identification or ordering. Good luck finding what you need.

Nice research. This is a helpful thread.

Very helpful thread indeed! I have a 2330 with the same dining table and base that I’m having trouble with. Unfortunately I’m having a hard time removing the posts to allow for the bed conversion. SBH20MAN, can you please advice me how you remove your posts from the base plate? Do they get pulled out, do you unscrew them or do you need to unscrew the screw that’s below the baseplate? Either way everything is seized on mine.

Thanks in advance!

It looks like you have the Todd version, which appears to thread into the pedestal base. You'll need to get a strap wrench on them and "unscrew" them. It might take a little liquid persuasion like break-free or Kroil...

Also, for what its worth, if you have the unthreaded 1-1/4" poles (like I do) the $10 Faulkner pieces are a straight match - the screw holes line up and they are a drop-in replacement. They are not quite as thick as the originals, but I'm sure they will be fine for another 10 years or so (considering the originals lasted 30 years).

Great to know, thanks again!

Sending you a PM SBH20MAN, I too have a 2320 EC that’s based out of Ventura, CA. I’ve been restoring mine for the past few years and have encountered many of the same issues you have mentioned in past threads. Would love to pick your brain.
