Boat seat

Submitted by C.P on Sun, 2022-04-03 17:09

 Hi all, Im hoping someone can provide some advice 

 I dont have the drivers side seat installed as it only gets in the way. The passenger side seat became stuck and would not budge at all. Normally the seat can be taken out or turned around to the required position. 

 I had to cut it off and cut inside the shaft to get it out because i needed to get the floor boards out. You can see from the pic i cut too far and cut into the pvc housing. Hopefully that wont matter. 

 So now i want to install the other seat back into the passenger side but the shaft still wont fit back in. It seems the plastic has expanded or whatever, i dont know but it wont  fit. So can pvc be filed or sanded? Would be difficult to sand inside the pvc pipe. What do you suggest .

 PVC will sand easily, I'd try to put an internal 45 degree chamfer on the opening to help guide it in and remove burrs.

Good luck.

 Thanks for the reply. I'll give it  a try. I thought about wrapping and glueing some sand paper around a smaller diameter pipe and using that to sand inside the bigger pipe. 

 I have a little grandson now so better for him to have a proper seat.
