[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 401725, member: 11276"] Prowler, find and read the Coast Guard regs. for yourself and then it will be clear. I have done this myself and the argument still arises. There is no regulation only recommendations. The recommendation states that the Drivers position should be that it can be fixed in a forward facing position. There are other recommendations that also go along with the Driver position. I have wedge type bases in my Alumacraft with a Class A pedestal for the driver and there is no mechanical lock. There is a Twist Lock that clamps the seat base so that it will not turn. It was made by Swivl-Eze. I would not use the 3/4" pin type while under-way. If you can put the bases in a position where you could put the seats in them while under-way and still sit in the seats w/o the pedestal I don't have a problem with that. [/QUOTE]
