We just purchased our first boat and picked up a nice 1996 Starcraft 2010 bow rider and the back to back lounge seats on the passenger side are a bit unstable. It looks as though some of the rivets have given way on the aluminum mechanism arms and the pieces need to be reattached to where ever they go. I didn't take the seats all the way out yet, but wondered if anyone has a picture or diagram of how that mechanism goes together? Also, are standard rivets used to refasten the parts back together? Thanks!

I'm at work but found this pic on the web - it's identical to ours. I'll try and get a picture of the mechanism in the next day or two.

I got the seats out this evening and this is the mechanism on the port side. The starboard side doesn't have that tilting bracket on the rear facing seat that the port has, but I am pretty sure I know how it is supposed to connect all up. Some of the pieces are bent slightly but can probably straighten them out. This raises two questions - is this a common bracket assembly that can still be purchased and save the time of repairing these, and are rivets still the way to go as they seem like they loosen up over time and give way? Thanks!
