Are clamp-on swivels any good?

[QUOTE="jethro, post: 455012, member: 12381"] They work but they are not ideal if you use your boat a lot. I used them on my old Grumman jon boat and to prevent them from coming off when you kick back in them I would run a ratchet strap under the seat to both arms of the clamp. Also a tip... the wing nuts are basically impossible to get tight enough by hand, and they are in a tough to access location. Make yourself a wrench out of a piece of 1" PVC pipe by cutting a slot in the end for the wings of the wingnut to sit in. Eventually I sucked it up and bolted the seats down which is a huge improvement. [/QUOTE]
