Bronze Bushing for Pedestal Bases and Posts

Bronze Bushing for Pedestal Bases and Posts

A direct replacement bushing designed to fit pedestal bases and posts in the 238 Series and compatible pedestal systems. Bronze construction provides excellent wear resistance and corrosion tolerance in marine environments, making it a reliable choice for restoring smooth post-to-base fit on an aging or worn pedestal assembly.

If your seat pedestal has developed play, wobble, or a loose fit between the post and base, a worn bushing is often the cause. Replacing it is a straightforward fix that restores the original tight, rattle-free connection without replacing the entire pedestal.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: This is the go-to recommendation when a customer reports a loose or wobbly seat pedestal but the post and base are otherwise in good condition. Replacing the bushing is a low-cost fix that avoids a full pedestal replacement. Commonly needed on older boats or high-use pedestals where the original nylon or bronze bushing has worn down. Confirm the pedestal series before ordering this bushing is designed for 238 Series and compatible systems. If the customer is unsure of their pedestal series, ask them to measure the post diameter (2-3/8″ is the 238 Series standard).
