Distance from steering wheel to bolster?
 

There was a thread on this topic a few months ago, with very good measurements, but I can't find it now. Can anyone direct me to it?

thanx

Wow! That was it. I could have SWORE that I just read that in the past few months, and limited my search to that timeframe, but it seems to be two years old. Well, they say that memory is the second thing to go....

Distance is about an arms-length.

Chart you should have known to just ask me :D

I don't know about measuring to place the seats. My boat has the bolsters mounted from the factory, and they are too far away. I am a smaller guy. Think about it, bolsters are mounted in an average position to try, try, and satisfy everyone. If I were you, I would set them down, sit in them, and position them where they work best for you. Not for the manufacturer. Bolt them puppies where they feel best, not where you are told they are best.

I knew I had taken those measurements before.

Yeah, but I'm average. So this should be quicker! :D

Re: Distance from steering wheel to bolster?
 

well, i'm probably considered average. I am 5' 9", 160# and I don't like the positioning of my bolsters. They could be about 1 1/2" closer to the wheel, and about 3" taller. Actually, 1 1/2" closer would make me about 3 inches taller. So, yeah, they need to be closer for me. You might want to do a dry run before you start drilling.
