Springfield Taper-Lock™ Hi-Lo Bushing f/2-3/8" Post

The Springfield Taper-Lock™ Hi-Lo Bushing for 2-3/8" Post is engineered for anglers and boaters who demand reliable seat swivel mounts on their vessels. This composite bushing insert serves as the critical connection point where your hi-lo seat assembly meets the mounting post, absorbing shock and vibration while maintaining secure positioning through hours on the water. Whether you're running offshore charters, tournament bass boats, or casual weekend cruising, a worn or failing seat bushing compromises both comfort and safety—making this replacement component essential maintenance for any serious boater.

Manufactured by Springfield Marine using high-strength composite material, the Taper-Lock™ design features tapered geometry that locks into the end of your 2-3/8" post with precision fit and zero play. The composite construction resists corrosion, salt spray, and UV degradation—critical performance factors in marine environments where metal bushings deteriorate rapidly. This engineered polymer maintains flexibility under load while providing the durability needed to support repeated adjustment cycles and the constant micro-movements of a swiveling seat under way. The compact 3-inch form factor ensures straightforward installation without requiring frame modification or specialized tools.

This bushing is the ideal replacement for captains and crew members whose existing seat mounts show signs of play, creaking, or looseness during operation. Installation is simple: the bushing inserts directly into the post end and locks via the Taper-Lock™ mechanism, restoring a tight, rattle-free connection that feels like factory-new. Weighing just 0.15 lbs, it's lightweight enough for easy handling yet engineered to handle the demands of commercial and recreational marine use. Compatibility is straightforward—confirm your post diameter is 2-3/8" and verify your seat swivel mount accepts this standard bushing configuration before ordering.
