seat post weld broken

[foodsaver]

the seat post for the front seat broke yesterday evening when I got out for a couple of hours. The weld around the ring mounted on the base broke and I fell into the floor of the boat. It was a tough trip on the boat! Anyone have suggestions for fixing it or would I be better off to just replace the mount?

just give me that boat and u buy a new one?lol

Depends on the mount. Some are cheap and some are VERY expensive. If it can be welded, give rodbuilder2 (Rudy) a call. He is a very good welder.

Here is a picture of what I am talking about.

<font size="2"> Craig, I would think you would be better off just getting a new base. If it broke there once it will surely be weaker the second go round. I would just get a new one and be on the safe side.</font>

Yea, Rudy can fix it. His handle of Rodbuilder is not fishing rods...it is hot rods. He can build a car from scratch. He can weld anything. Get in touch with him and he can fix it for you. emoAngel Jmax

Hard to tell from the pic, looks like the weld just seperated.

It looks like one you can purchase at Wal-Mart for around $16 - $18. I had one welded once but it was ugly and wound up buying a new one at Wal-Mart.

Only prob with welding that .. the nylon insert will have to come out or will melt..
