Wise 8WD10 360-Degree Flat Boat Seat Swivel, Black

Seems to be made well and the hole patterns fit the seat. Happy with the purchase.

works great

Works as described.. I'll review again after fishing season.. little stiff but new

This product works exactly the way it should if you use it for the intended purpose. After it is installed boat seats will stay in the position you leave them and not swing around every time the boat rocks. It they did that it would be dangerous. You can tell that works by sitting the hinge on the floor and standing on it with one foot and attempting to rotate the hinge with another foot. It will swivel easily. But if you just grab it and try and rotate it, it will be very stiff. It is a great design for boat seats, but if you are making a lazy susan for your dining room it would be a horrible use. It requires the weight of a person to rotate. Installing is easy, you just need to rotate the two halves of the hinge until the bolts you want to install are visible. I wish the vendor would have explained this in the writeup, because I too expected a free hinge. However, I found out that this was the perfect way to articulate a 3 wheel cart that I built. Great product!!

Purchased this swivel to use with a boat seat for fishing. It works as advertised full swivel makes moving from side to side when fishing easy and was simple to install holes lined up with standard seat bottom. Would recommend this item.

I work as a Camera Operator for live broadcasts of WNBA / NBA games for networks such as ESPN, CBS, ETC. Due to NBA regulations, traditional wheeled chairs are not permitted, unlike in college basketball settings. To address this, we innovatively used a Wise boat seat with a Wise swivel, mounted on a flat piece of wood, with a piece of carpet underneath to protect the basketball court. This solution has proven to be exceptionally comfortable and effective. I highly recommend it.

This seat swivel is exactly as advertised and performs well. However, there are two things to keep in mind. The first is that the swivel does not function easily when it's not under a load. By that I mean that it's necessary to use a screw driver so that the flanges are positioned so that screws/bolts can be installed. The second problem is that it's very difficult to mount to anything else other than a seat bracket designed to clamp the seat to a jon boat bench seat. Since Amazon sells two different times of brackets for jon boat bench seats that have the swivel installed, I recommend buying one of those instead of buying the bracket and swivel separately.

I bought this and a seat for the boat. First—not instructions. You need to install with bolts to the boat seat—but we had no access under the seat—and how do you install on the boat and also install on the seat from underneath??? Had to improvise.
