Boat Hut Insight
Before ordering, check the seat base, mounting pattern and available clearance around the helm. A suspension seat can make a significant difference to comfort, but it still needs enough room to move freely without contacting consoles, steering wheels or deck fittings. Also allow for the combined height of the suspension unit and seat, as a small increase in seating position can affect helm visibility and driving posture.
For the best result, set the suspension for the boat’s usual load and operating conditions, then fine-tune it after a trial on the water. The right setting should reduce harsh impacts without allowing excessive movement.
