Hey everyone. Just bought a new Stratos 176 VLO yesterday and had a question. I've searched everywhere for a good answer but all i find is issues with the pedestal stuck to the boat itself. I'm trying to remove the seat from the pole and just can't do it to save my life. The seat was easy to remove at the dealership, but after getting it home and sitting in the seat to see how comfortable it was, the seat seemed to settle in the post just a tad more with a "click" like locking in sound once sat in. Now that i want to remove the seat, i can't no matter how hard i tug and pull. There's no secret switch that i can find or anything that might be keeping it locked in. And it's hard to get anything around the piece of metal that protrudes from the seat because there is a spring there which i guess is supposed to provide some sort of extra comfort, even though i can't see how it can help but so much. Any help is appreciated.
