Swivl-Eze Pedestals - 1.77" Snap Lock

Swivl-Eze and the 1.77" Snap-Lock Pedestal System

Swivl-Eze's 1.77-inch Snap-Lock series is a modular boat seating system built around one idea: components that snap together and stay together. Posts, seat mounts and bases in this line share a common diameter, so you can build a pedestal to suit your boat rather than buying a fixed assembly. It is a practical choice for fishing, pontoon and cruising boats, where a seat needs to be raised off the deck without adding complexity.

What Sets the Snap-Lock Series Apart

The 1.77" group is positioned as a balance of value and performance. Several design details define it:

• Snap-Lock engagement: every component in the series snaps and holds together, and the snap-lock is engineered to resist unintentional detachment.
• Larger locking clip: each post includes a clip with a metal insert that secures the post into its base for added safety, and it releases with the press of a button.
• Precision-sized posts: posts are sized on both ends for a snug, accurate fit in compatible bases.
• Anodized aluminum posts: the posts are hard-anodized aluminum for corrosion resistance in marine environments.
• E-coated seat mounts: the steel seat mounts carry an E-coat finish for corrosion resistance, and they provide three degrees of tilt.

Fixed and Adjustable Height Options

Within the 1.77" Snap-Lock family you will find fixed-height posts as well as adjustable-height pedestals. A typical adjustable model spans roughly 16 to 20 inches, which lets you dial in seat elevation for different anglers or driving positions. Power pedestal versions add lever-operated height adjustment, and slotted seat-mount holes allow some flexibility when positioning a seat. Operator-style models in the line feature an ergonomic swivel-locking handle with stainless steel components, and seat mounts are designed to lock permanently into the post in any swiveling position.

Shopping Considerations

The most important check is diameter. The 1.77" Snap-Lock series is its own system, and it is not intended to be interchanged with other manufacturers' pedestal products, nor with the larger 2-3/8" or the 3/4" pin-style lines. Confirm that your existing base, post and seat mount all belong to the same series before ordering. Then consider:

• The seat height you need, and whether a fixed or adjustable post suits how the boat is used.
• Your seat's mounting pattern, since many marine seat mounts use a standard bolt spacing.
• Base material and size, as aluminum and stainless options are available for deck mounting.
