I need to get a new captains seat and adjustable pedestal with swivel and slide features for my yamaha 2006 SR210. the original is broken.

i am not sure if the pedestal size is 2 7/8" or 2 3/8"?

any good pedestal or seat recommendations? its an old boat so not looking to spend too much. right now i am thinking on purchasing the below:

Amazon.com : Wise 8WP21-374 Adjustable Pedestal with Slide, Silver : Boat Seating : Sports & Outdoors

What is busted, the seat or the pedestal? They usually are sold separate and quite universal. And what many of us found when swapping pedestal's is that we sheared off the bolts when trying to back them out. So get ready to drill and tap new holes if needed. It's super easy to do.

But if your post is fine, just replace the seat. If the seat is fine, just get the adjustable post, that's what many of us did. As we wanted to raise the seat.

Good luck!

Search “adjustable Pedestal” on here. We had a build thread from last spring. Quite a few of us upgraded at the same time. Links included

I recommend Wise 8WP21-374 adjustable pedestal, they appear well engineered, they rotate, they slide forward and back and the up and down features are smooth and all adjustments lock positively. Because the built in seat base slides forward and back on the pedestal, it is long enough that no adapter plate was needed to bolt directly to the mounting points on our seats. Something to consider when ordering a pedestal is the cost of the adapter plate which is probably not needed with this pedestal. So far, we are very pleased.

I am also considering installing the Wise 8WP21-374. I really like height adjustment, travel slides, and 360 degrees features.

My old Pedestal on my Bayliner 175 was too low, and was not adjustable. This Wise 8WP21 – 18S Pedestal was just what I needed, it raised my seats up by 6 inches with the ability to raise another 4-6 inches. Now I can see where I'm going on the lowest setting and if need I can raise them up for a better view. This base is well made and sturdy. The height adjustment is good but it is not hydraulic so don't sit on it while adjusting. I found it better to use a swivel base.
