Re: Helm seat bases
Mitchell,
No problem. The starboard helmseat base was/is the original factory "camper" seat. The same Pompanette ladderback chair is bolted directly to the base (no pedestal). The base is actually the lid on teh fiberglass module. Flip the "lid"/seat assembly (it is hinged on the aft end with a piano hinge) and underneath is a sink. Originally, there was an alcohol two burner stove mounted to the underside of the lid, so that when closed, the stove fit into the well formed by the sink - when opened, it was in the upright position. I'm sure my words here are not painting a crystal clear picture. In any case, got rid of the stove years ago and now keep 4 Plano tackle trays in there along with some other small stuff. Underneath it all is general storage and also where I mounted the reservoir/relief valve unit for the Hynautic hydraulic steering system. More than happy to show you the setup - my boat is stored at Ship Shops on Bass River.
