Attwood Marine Seat Slides

Attwood Marine Seat Slides: Precision Comfort on the Water

When it comes to getting the most out of your time on the water, seating position matters more than most boaters realize. Attwood Marine — a brand with over a century of marine hardware expertise — brings that same engineering focus to its line of boat seat slides, giving anglers and recreational boaters alike a simple, reliable way to dial in exactly where they sit.

A Legacy of Marine Engineering Behind Every Slide

Attwood was founded in 1893 by Charles F. Attwood, who manufactured brass accessories for the maritime industry. Over the decades that followed, the brand grew into one of the most trusted names in boating. Attwood has been a proven marine industry leader for over 100 years, with products — including seat & table hardware — tested to the highest USCG, ABYC, and CE standards. That pedigree is evident in every seat slide they produce.

What Sets Attwood Seat Slides Apart

Attwood's seat slide lineup is engineered specifically for the demands of the marine environment. Their flagship deck-mounted design — marketed under the Swivl-Eze sub-brand — mounts directly to the boat deck, features a low 1-5/8" total height, and is constructed of strong aluminum with convenient front control operation. This makes it an ideal retrofit solution for boaters who want fore-and-aft seat adjustment without a major installation overhaul.

The deck-mounted slide adapts to change a post installation or swivel location and is compatible with stamped and welded seat mounts or cast seat mounts not originally equipped with a slider. That versatility is a hallmark of the Attwood approach — designing products that work across a wide range of existing setups rather than requiring proprietary hardware.

For boaters with traditional utility or jon boat bench seating, Attwood also offers a bench-style rail-mount seat plate. This design adapts a boat seat to mount slide rails and is specifically engineered for mounting a seat on a traditional utility boat bench. The plate slides to reposition the seat and allows quick removal when not in use, measuring 10" x 7".

For those seeking even more refined adjustment, the Air Glider series takes things a step further. The Attwood Air Glider boat seat mount is designed for use with 2-3/8" pedestals and features an Air Glide boat seat slider — a smooth-action mechanism built for repeatable, low-effort repositioning on every trip.

Built for Harsh Marine Conditions

Attwood marine parts are engineered for corrosion resistance, ease of installation, and long service life — whether your boat sees freshwater or saltwater use. The aluminum construction used in their seat slides resists the oxidation and salt-spray degradation that quickly compromise lesser hardware. Compatibility spans jon boats, fishing boats, and pontoons — making these slides a practical choice for a broad range of boat types and seating configurations.

Who These Products Are For

Attwood seat slides appeal to a wide audience: the weekend bass angler who needs to slide forward for a better casting angle, the pontoon owner retrofitting a worn seat base, or the do-it-yourself boater upgrading a jon boat's seating arrangement. The low-profile designs minimize deck intrusion, the front-lock controls keep adjustments intuitive, and the aluminum builds keep long-term maintenance to a minimum. For anyone looking to improve seating flexibility on the water without complexity, Attwood's seat slide solutions are a proven starting point.
