Nitro 882 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Hi Guys. I've had to add something to my gear to enhance my enjoyment on the water. A friggin pipe wrench. Sometimes my boat seats get so tight in the base plate that I can't remove them without a pipe wrench and considerable elbow grease. As I've aged, I can't stand up in the front of the boat all day anymore so I like to remove the pedestal seat and replace it with the regular seat from the rear of the boat. Not so easy lately. I've oiled, greased, used "never seize", sanded, ground down etc. to no avail. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Quote
badhatharry Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 When I first got my Ranger, my Spring-lock pedestals were just like you described. I picked up a tube of Sil-Glyde (I use it on cabinet drawers and double hung windows) and haven't had the problem since. 2 Quote

Most auto parts stores will have it. It's primary purpose is to lube brakes........Al Quote
