Both of the seats on my boat are very stiff and hard to swivel or move forward and backward. Is there any type of lubrication for this?
 
:woot: He said lube...

On a serious note. I have this same issue.
 
I bet the silicone spray they recomend for the engine would work well. II'd have to get under my seat and take a look though.
 
Vaseline.....
 
This may be obvious, but just in case: mine has a knob that tightens the chair and keeps it from swiveling.
 
Mine has same knob but it still doesn't work as "freely" as I would like it to. For what its worth, my old 230 was worse :confused:
