Pedestal Seat

[garfield28]

G'day all,

I need to add a new pedestal Seat to my fibreglass boat. The one I just removed was only screwed in with 6 long screws. Just wondering if it is ok to put the new one in the same way or is there a process that needs to be followed differently?

Thanks
Geoff

I guess it depends if the floor was reinforced from new to take screws, if so, it should be OK, if it's just screwed into thin ply, then it's risky, was it OK before?

Can u cut a thick 18-25mm disc the size of the pedestal base and epoxy glue this to the floor than run screws thru this base into the original floor?

Yeah seemed pretty solid before Noel. Only replacing because the cylinder inside is stuck and I cannot for the life of me push it up or down.
