ptomacbass Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 My 89' Ranger has a pedestal seat up front that I really want to remove because I always stand when fishing. The problem is, I cant get it off. Does anyone know how to remove these seats? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 Sometimes the pedestal will jam and you have to use a pipe wrench. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 Also, don't forget, some pedistals screw in. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted February 6, 2011 Super User Posted February 6, 2011 In the boat I bought last year, neither the front or rear pedestal would come out. The front one I sat a bag of ice around for a half hour or so and then used a pipe wrench and pulled like hell. Finally got that one out and sanded it down a bit. The rear one I could not get to budge. One hernia later ;D I just removed the base plate. Come to find out the post was rusted in. The base of that actually hangs in the livewell and a stainless steel base was not used. > Quote
scrutch Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 There's a product called "Silicroil" that will probably loosen it if it's just rusted or stuck. It comes in an orange can. You should be able to google it. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 i had the same problem on my nitro when i bought it. I just took some liquid wrench and sprayed a little on it and let it sit for a day. then came back the next day and it pulled right off. Quote
