The screws are stripped where the captain’s chair is bolted to the floor. Can I simply rotate the base and drill new holes?
What should I do?

Buy a bigger base cause bigger is better.Originally posted by jake's02-22i View Post -
That is what I did. Just turn the base where the new screw holes are inbetween the old.Comment

Do you know why it did it in the first place? I just looked at it one day and three of them were just sticking up about an inch. I screwed them in and then i noticed it again next time out. I checked it and sure enough they were stripped.Comment

Did you put anything on the underside of the chair? I have been looking into putting one of these seats in but haven't figured out how to get a base up under the floor yet.
Could you post a picture of you seat please. I would like to see it mounted.
ThanksDale

Sorry I don't have a pic of it. But it is a round base with around 6 screws in it. The chair is a standard one with no bolster.Comment

Did you just screw it to the floor w/out bolting it from the underside and now it is coming loose?Originally posted by jake's02-22i View Post
I was thinking about this but wasn't sure if it would hold, if this is the case I will not do it now.Dale

That is how Tige did it from the factory. If I could bolt it I would but not sure if you can get to it from the underside. When i take it out of storage I will try the rotate method. hope that works. I would love to buy a taller post to make it higher or maybe even an adjustable one. Anyone ever done that?Comment

I beleive these are the anchor used to "through" bolt the seats in. I do not beleive a screw into the deck will hold over time.
