Looking for a way to put a little tilt into our boat seats.
The seats just are not comfortable, in that you feel like you are being pushed forward when you sit in them.


I have Swivl-eze 238 seat bases, pedestals, and locking swivels.
And Tempress Navistyle low back seats.


I was thinking of adding a wedge shaped piece of aluminum between the bottom of the seat, and the swivel head. Maybe 1/2" thick in the front, and 1/8" thick in the rear.

I know you can buy swivel heads with 3* of tilt built into them, but I just bought the setup, and don't want to spend another $90 to get the tilt version.

Does anyone know of a product that will help? Or am I making it from scratch?

Roscoe, look at the seat bases, some of the better ones, are made with a slight angle, i bet your seats are mount wrong to the base. i learned this as i had a seat that was off left to right.

nope, put a square on them, and they are flat.
