Abstract
An attachable, swivel seat for an inflatable boat that sets firmly and freely on the main frame of the motor mount, the seat having adjustable cross members to fit its own motor mount or most other types of motor mounts. This attachable seat also has an adjustable brace from the cross member to the floor of the boat and a platform behind it which can support a battery or the like, and said attachment also provides space where fishing rod holders may be mounted. This attachable seat may be moved forward or backward and places the occupant above the gunwales in a position to comfortably operate the controls of a trolling motor with plenty of leg room and in the event of a tear or serious air leak or the boat capsizes, the seat is a floatation device.
