Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.
Safety: Check every strap clip or screw before you launch, and always wear a life jacket.
Steps
- Check how your kayak takes a seat: built-in clips or pad eyes, a seat well, or nothing (then you add pad eyes).
- Set the seat in the seat well and adjust its position so your feet reach the foot pegs comfortably.
- Clip the straps to the pad eyes and pull them snug. If you're adding pad eyes, mark, drill and fasten them with the included screws, sealing each hole.
- For frame seats with brackets, bolt the brackets as the instructions show and tighten them evenly.
- Sit in it on shore and adjust the back straps or angle before you paddle out.
Follow the instructions that come in the box for your exact model first.
