Shockwave S5-AL Black Suspension Seat Base

This marine suspension seat base is built to reduce the shock transferred from the hull to the occupant when a boat encounters chop and repeated wave impacts. The suspension mechanism allows controlled vertical and forward movement beneath a compatible seat, helping soften harsh impacts that a rigid pedestal would transmit directly to the body.

Heavy-duty alloy construction and stainless hardware provide a strong marine-ready foundation, while the suspension travel is engineered to support recreational boating applications. Compatibility with suitable third-party seats or dedicated matching seating hardware makes the system useful for upgrading an existing helm or passenger position.

Confirm seat bolt pattern, occupant and seat load, deck strength, available suspension travel, mounting footprint, and surrounding clearance before installation. The base must be secured to a properly reinforced structure. Keep moving components clear of obstructions and inspect fasteners, pivots, and suspension parts regularly for wear.

• Suspension movement helps isolate the occupant from abrupt hull motion.
• Less direct impact can reduce fatigue during repeated travel through chop.
• Alloy construction and corrosion-resistant hardware support demanding onboard use.
• The suspension can support matched or approved third-party seat installations.
