Boat seats and other seat accessories are important to have on your craft so that all passengers can be seated comfortably for the ride. Boat seat pedestals, mounts, and pads help secure seats to the ground and provide cushioning. Canadian Tire has a range of high back, low back, procasting, folding boat seats and other important accessories you’ll need.
How do I know it's time to replace or repair boat seats?
There are a few tell-tale signs it’s time for new boat seats. Some reasons might include damaged upholstery, moulding, stains, and lack of support. Although you can hire a professional to replace your upholstery, it can be more efficient and cost-effective to simply replace the entire seat.
Does everyone need a seat in a boat?
It is recommended not to carry more passengers than you have seats and evenly seat the passengers on your boat. Certain regions in Canada may even have laws requiring everyone on board to be seated while moving. Depending on the size of your craft, you can accommodate a certain number of people. For example, a small pontoon boat can seat 8 – 10 adults, whereas boats that are larger than 25 feet long could accommodate a larger group.
Can boat seats be reupholstered?
Boat seats can be reupholstered with a DIY approach or by a professional. However, DIY reupholstery can be complex and require a lot of time and materials, while hiring a professional may be costly. Purchasing a brand new boat seat is a cost-effective way to start fresh.
