{"product_id":"qbp548834","title":"Attwood Marine 238 Series Socket Base, 9 in, Cut Both Sides, Aluminum, 3 in Mounting Hole","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Attwood Marine 238352-1 is a 9 inch aluminum socket base with a cut-both-sides profile for the 2-3\/8 inch 238 seating platform. It has an anodized finish and requires a 3 inch mounting hole, which makes it a direct fit choice for installations already built around matching 238 Series hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis base is used within Attwood Swivl-Eze 238 Series seating systems and is interchangeable with LakeSport 238 Series socket base applications. The cut-both-sides shape changes the footprint compared with a full round base, which can be useful when the seat base location needs a little more clearance around the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 inch aluminum socket base with cut-both-sides footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a 3 inch mounting hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Attwood Swivl-Eze 238 Series seating hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable with LakeSport 238 Series socket base applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt as a matched-system component rather than a universal mixed-brand base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis base belongs to the 238 Series family, so it makes the most sense when you are replacing an existing 238 base or building around matching Attwood Swivl-Eze 238 or LakeSport 238 posts, pedestals, and seat mounts. It is not intended as a universal base for unrelated pedestal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base needs a 3 inch mounting hole, so it is worth checking the deck cutout and the clearance below the mounting surface before drilling or swapping hardware. On a refit, confirm the pedestal series first and match the base to the rest of the seating system instead of treating it as a generic replacement plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for helm, cockpit, or fishing-seat positions that already use the 238 platform and need a replacement socket base with the same system fit. The cut-both-sides profile also suits layouts where a full round 9 inch base takes up more deck space than you want.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52581858082997,"sku":"QBP548834","price":56.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1329158_qbp548834.jpg?v=1780200704","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp548834","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
