Collection: Enson: Suspension Boat Seat Pedestal

Enson suspended boat seat pedestals absorb the impacts that waves and hard running transmit to the seat. Compared with a conventional fixed pedestal, a suspended or air suspended pedestal reduces the load on the back and the rest of the body, and improves seating comfort particularly in choppy water.

The range includes the Enson PSW-26, PSW-30 and PSS-305. The models differ in height, suspension and adjustment options. The right pedestal is chosen according to the boat's construction, the available mounting space, the seat height, the user's weight and how the boat is used.

Why choose a suspended seat pedestal?

Impacts through the hull pass straight to the seat and the user through a conventional fixed pedestal. A suspended pedestal takes part of that load and lets the seat move in a controlled way.

• Absorbs impacts and vibration transmitted from the hull to the seat
• Reduces the load on the back and the body
• Improves comfort in waves and on longer trips
• Allows adjustment of seat height, suspension, stiffness, slide and rotation, depending on the model
• Suits leisure boating as well as fishing guides and other professional users

A suspended pedestal does not remove the need to match your speed to the conditions and the boat. A correctly chosen and adjusted pedestal does, however, make running in demanding conditions considerably more pleasant.

Which Enson pedestal suits your boat?

• Enson PSW-26 is a lower suspended pedestal than the PSW-30. It suits installations where the available height is limited or where a lower seat is wanted. The model has adjustable suspension that can be matched to the user and the conditions.
• Enson PSW-30 is the taller option compared with the PSW-26. It suits boats where more seat height is needed. On the PSW-30 the angle of the shock absorber can also be adjusted.
• Enson PSS-305 combines air and spring damping with a wide range of seat adjustments. The model has 360 degree rotation, 95 mm of slide adjustment and a three step quick stiffness setting. It suits a user who wants to fine tune both seating position and suspension stiffness.

Check these before ordering

Before choosing a pedestal, make sure its dimensions and features suit your boat, your seat and how you use the boat. Check the following in particular:

• The mounting surface and mounting height available in the boat
• The mounting dimensions of the pedestal and the boat seat
• The seat height you want when under way
• The user's weight and the weight range of the chosen model
• The space needed for rotation, slide adjustment and suspension travel
• The product specific installation instructions and the fixings required

Frequently asked questions about suspended boat seat pedestals

What is the benefit of a suspended boat seat pedestal?

A suspended pedestal absorbs the impacts that waves transmit to the seat. That reduces the load on the body and makes sitting in the boat more comfortable, especially in chop and on longer runs.

What is the difference between a spring and an air suspended pedestal?

Both absorb impacts, but with air suspension the characteristics can be adjusted using air pressure. The Enson PSS-305 combines an air spring with spring damping and also offers rotation and slide adjustment.

Does the Enson PSS-305 fit every boat?

Not automatically. The PSS-305 is intended for boats from roughly 4.5 to 7 metres, but fit also depends on the mounting space, the mounting dimensions, the seat and the user's weight. Check the product dimensions before ordering.

How do I choose between the PSW-26, PSW-30 and PSS-305?

Choose the PSW-26 if you need a lower pedestal than the PSW-30. The PSW-30 suits an installation that needs more seat height. The PSS-305 is the option when you want air suspension, a wide user weight range and seat rotation and slide adjustment.
