Boat Seats

[KraTToR]

I have 2 dlx captain seats on my larson and the pneumatic height adjustment. Would these be called Air-Ride seats? Once I set the height I clamp them down to make them more stable.

 

 

Also, the up/down operation is quite lethargic and sticks from time to time. I'm sure its due to the lack of use. Can this be lubed/serviced?

 

 

TIA.

Air ride seats use an air spring; it will hold a set height, during smooth condition; but will compress and then extend back to original height, absorbing hard bumps.

It sound like you have an air lift seat(s) that you adjust to a desired height and lock in the position; like an office desk chair.

Yes you can lube the shaft of the seat; but use 100% silicone lubricant; petroleum based lube, will likely damage the air seal.

Thanks Dan, you are correct.. they are air-lift only. Silicone makes sense for the reason you gave.
