The latest installment in the TEMPRESS line of marine seating is a rotationally molded Helm Seat that incorporates the patented NaviStyle® StylePanel® system and ensures superior comfort, unequaled quality, and a wide possibility of styles. Like all TEMPRESS products the Helm Seat is constructed of materials designed to withstand the rigors of the marine environment. Built with 28-30 oz marine grade vinyl. By utilizing TEMPRESS StylePanels®, the Helm Seat goes beyond the standard snap on upholstery common in the market place today. Additionally, the contoured StylePanels® create a comfortable seating surface that is ergonomically correct without the excessive use of foam. Built in lumbar support and a rolled front edge make the New TEMPRESS Helm Seat perfect for any application in which comfort, durability, and superior style are desired. Eight embedded mounting inserts will fit most slider systems that have a 5” mounting system when paired with the Elite Mounting Plate (#57005). (8) 1/4 - 20 x 5/8" stainless steel bolts with Loctite are included. If your application requires you to utilize a reinforcement plate different size bolts will need to be purchased separately.
*** WARNING! If mounting to a standard swivel with 4 holes, this seat requires a reinforcing plate. Please review instructions HERE. The Reinforcing plate can be purchased separately under part 57005. Please note this ships as an oversized package.
**Additional Oversized Shipping and Handling Charge - $20.00 Per Seat**

Q: Can I buy replacement cushions for the helm seats?
Yes, limited colors are available.
Q: What type of mount is necessary for the Helm seat?
The Helm seat has a 5” x 12” bolt pattern and is designed to be mounted on a fore & aft slide for proper support. There are 8 bolt holes under the seat of which the center 4 create a 5” square.
