Boat seats in wheel house


Hazzard

Recommended Posts

I have seen a few wheel houses with boat seats in them but I have not fished in one. Is this a good way to go?

I thought about doing that in my houses, but didn't. In a way it would be a good idea, like in a toy hauler. Move the seats out of the way when the wheeler comes in. It can get pretty spendy if you put all pneumatic cylinders on all of them.

I am still in debate about putting them in my next house.

I did like Glockwinger. I use rolling computer chairs that have been disgarded, recovered and repaired. I have 2 new boat seat bases in my garage that were destined for the house, now they'll go onto the 'toon. I can always get to the "hot end" of the house on the rollers! Phred52

I just bought a rolling computer chair for my deer stand and I'm thinking it coming out after deer season and going into the fish house. I don't think you can get much more of a perfect chair for ice fishing. You can roll from hole to hole tilt back, have nice arm rest and give good back support. I will be so comfy in my stand I hope I can stay awake. sleep

I just bought 2 (flush mount) pedistool bases that matched the ones from my Alumacraft Tournament Sport seats. I just use my boat seats in the wheel house and they are pretty comfy and have the adjustable ride too. Just have to cut a hole in the floor and seal up the bottom of the base with silicone.

office chairs could cause some damage rolling around during travel...boat seats are locked in place.

I would only use the fancy captains chairs for the fishhouse if I was going that route but the price of them would probably make me change to a different type of chair like the computer chairs...

my portable seats are amazing (Frabill R-TEC) and in fact I just order 2 of them for my wheelhouse. Price was allot less than I thought they would be. The plan is to weld up about 4 floor mounts and just use 2" solid aluminum round pipe for the uprights with a flat bracket on top so you can screw the seat into that. I have found you can easily spend 150-200 bucks per seat by the time you are done purchasing all the mounts and brackets. I will post some pics within the next couple of weeks when I get this product done.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
