argonaut 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2017 I have a Monterey 194FS It has the pedestal type helm seat that will rotate, and also slide fwd or back. It is the sliding fwd that is the issue .... slide seat into position - push down seat slide locking arm .. and all OK until you hit a wake when it releasse and slides to fully back position. (annoying and also a bit unsafe) I thought easy enough - will lift off seat assembly (leaving deck fitting in place) and have a look at this in my garage. Tried releasing drag control ... no luck .. won't lift up & off which is what I expected. There is a black plastic square pieces (about 3/4" / 3/4") at base of the seating casting which will rotate if you move it - but have no idea what that is for - again did not help remove seat. I failed to get the thing off, can anyone tell me how to lift the seat off the pedestal. Pic from manual of seat type attached Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
