ATV rear seat


alg

Recommended Posts

I just bought a new Yamaha Grizzly 550 with a rear seat by Moose. The seat does not work very well. My wife sits back there, and the way the seat is (slants forward), she keeps sliding forward. I ordered a pair of rear fender guards/foot pegs, and hope that'll help, but I tried sitting back there, and without evening moving I slide forward off the seat. Anyone have any suggestions of a better seat?

It was installed at the dealership. It merely U-bolts to the rear rack. I don't think it can be installed any differently. I'm thinking it may just be a poorly designed seat. Anyone use one that they're happy with?

I just bought a Kimpex seat that I am going to install after the ice season. I noticed that they have gone to a bolster toward the front crotch area of the botton cushion (probably to secure the rider back there). Is there any way that you can tilt the seat/cushion toward the back a bit???

Alg. When you install the footpegs, life will be better. Another thing that you could try if you need more leaning toward the rear is fold up a towel and put it under the front of the seat and see if that helps. But the footpegs if I had to bet, will end your problem. Good luck and keep us informed, Junky...........

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
