A marine seating option designed for temporary or semi-permanent installation, featuring an integrated mechanism for secure attachment to a boat’s structure is the subject of this exploration. This type of seat often employs a screw-down or lever-operated tightening system. For instance, one could be readily affixed to a thwart in a small rowboat or along the gunwale of a fishing vessel.
The advantage of this seating lies in its adaptability and ease of installation. It provides immediate comfort and support without requiring permanent mounting, drilling, or modifications to the boat. Historically, such designs have been favored by recreational anglers and boaters needing flexible seating arrangements, offering a balance between stability and portability. The non-permanent nature is particularly valuable for rental boats or shared vessels.
