Huge addition. Add an option to drill/tap/install an extra SS insert to snap the pin into when in the stowed position for additional security. That is an item you would have to custom install. But for a grand, it needs it. The skill level required for the install should allow that to happen.
No I would imagine because where it is mounted could be different on each application. But I did mention including the 1/2 inch Allen wrench because nobody had one locally.
Great info thanks for the video...just got my Sea Swivel to install on my 230CC Finseeker!!! How big is the hole for the main bolt, need to make sure i have the correct size bit.
I am not sure it has been a while. Also if you see on my install video I didn’t drill the hole I used a previous rod holder hole. I’m sure it’s in the instructions though
Love the install man super helpful. When mounting the quick release bracket to the sea swivel top plate, did you cut off the protruding bolts underneath or did you buy new hardware so it could clear?
Man it looks really good but I ain’t gonna like the whole shaft looks really flimsy idk if cuz it’s so long….but it has to be on a boat ur size it just looks like it would flex bad when full powered but then again I don’t have one and don’t know just my opinion I hope it works flawlessly cuz I really like ur channel let’s see it in action!
That shaft is specifically designed to be flexible under load. That reduces the stress point on the mounts. I have a 96" shaft that flexes a good bit as well. Works as intended. No issues. Best accessory on my boat. Instant spot lock even in sporty seas. I have not dropped an anchor once since I got it.
Pretty cool but looks to me like another more complicated thing to corrode, cease up and go wrong. I hope it works for many years for you but I doubt it will.
@@JackedUpFishing I just don’t see how you stop water, salt and dirt from building up between those plates and in and around the bearing. It doesn’t matter what the materials are made of it’s going to bind up unless there is something there to prevent contamination that I can’t see in this video. But good luck!
Thank you for the video , from a 30 year Marine Rigger , please never use 5200 on the top fiberglass surfaces of your boat. It will always come back to bite you in the ass.
They actually have products to remove 5200 now. Works pretty good. And you can’t argue the effectiveness of 5200 vs other products. I only used on the bolt holes so shouldn’t be an issue.
This is honestly the only mount that will be able to work on my 2022 230CC Finseeker...There is not much room up front unless i get a huge plate which would hang over the side quite a bit and i did not want that. I will gladly pay the price for a product that will allow me to have a trolling motor on my boat that is super easy to use.
Great install video. You've sold me. I am putting a Sea Swivel on my Sportsman 282TE .
Awesome!

Actually that’s a pretty good idea. I will mention that to them!
Looks great man! If you put the painters tape over where you’re drilling your holes it’ll help the gel coat from chipping!
Thx 🙏 for the tip
No man, you run your drill in reverse for a while, then go to forward.
Very nice work. Thanks for posting.
🙏 thank you
Clean install! Vital piece of hardware for some applications.
💯
Great video. Exactly what I was looking to get. Sold me on it. Any video on the install of the wiring, charger and battery for the Rhodan?
No I didn’t do wiring video as it’s pretty typical for all. I love the Seaswivel though.
So the kit didn’t come with hardware to mount the four corner holes for the bottom plate? Why would they overlook that
No I would imagine because where it is mounted could be different on each application. But I did mention including the 1/2 inch Allen wrench because nobody had one locally.
We started adding it to all the kits. His was one of the very 1st ones.
Excellent job 😊
🙏 thank you
With the motor mounted that far back from center line do you find that the motor uses more battery power to hold spot lock
No it seems to work just like it is in the center. I was worried about that as well. But it’s awesome held my 37 in honest 3-4 the other day

Awesome thanks for the reply. Love the channel. What AH battery and how many hours did you get the other day?

I measured and got the exact size I needed. Have been using it a lot and it’s awesome
Great video was extremely helpful. Thanks , it's the only mount that works for my 24-foot sea chaser. How much torque did you apply
I tightened it to where it was stiff but not too tight. It’s really snug
What battery did you go with?
I got the LBP 36v kit
Swietne rozwiązanie z tą obrotową platformą. Pozdrawiam z Polski
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I’m surprised that it doesn’t come with mounting hardware
It does now.
I just mounted a sea swivel on my 25 Contender Bay Boat and it's a game changer! You will never use your anchor again.
That’s what I am hoping! Thanks for watching!

There are bigger boats using them so I am sure it will be fine. Fingers crossed 🤞

Only time willl tell. But either way the materials that this mount is made of I am sure it will outlast the trolling motor spot lock.

@@1957cajun only time will tell. That’s all I can say. I will stand by the previous statement though. I am positive it will outlast the spot lock.

Great idea but 1000.00 for that mount? Come on.
Yeah it’s pricey but best mount for my Seahunter hands down.
