Mariah seats
 

Anyone know where to find replacement seats?.........I have a 1999 Shabah 182, need a new captain seat. Also does anyone have any info on some trailer roller guides?....still trying to trailer my boat in one shot....taking some practice.

I just had mine re-covered with the same material & matching "Artic White" colour and they did a great job. Even handstitched in the Mariah name for me just like the original. I'll have to take a couple of pics & post them when i have a moment.

As for sourcing entire seats.......occasionally they come up on E-bay but not very often.

The seat foam is already destroyed in the ripped area.......and the fiberglass backing is busted. But I will check out the sites you sent for the guides......Thx.

Hi az
Do you have any manuals or any materials on your boat?

No I do not have any manuals for my boat and I really need to get ahold of some.

No I did not realize that, but thats why you are the "Yoda" of these forums....you are the man with the info. I will check it out.........Thanks WetWilly.

Willy's on to something there. I know the place here that re-upholstered my driver's seat said they could replace the foam with the exact same stuff if i wanted but mine was still in very good condition. And yes, a body shop experienced in fibreglass repairs should be able to do a 'bang-up job' on that seat back as well as re-install that Mariah shield back there.

That process would likely be faster than sourcing a replacement Mariah seat although it might be slightly more expensive.

the top of my seat is in good shape
but the adjustable part underneath (not "Z" power) is broken, (the slider forward and back)
do you think just that bolt on part is available?
or will I need to "jury rig" something up

it makes the whole thing wobble

Springfield Marine makes the slides / swivels and sells them thru various retail outlets.

Here's the link to their website:

I used a contact there named Kenny Carnahan [email protected] (1-417-725-2667 ext.220.) to get my seat pedestal & base situation sorted out.

Well my captain seat is still ripped, havent had the time to repair it yet....but I will soon get it done as summer is coming quick.

Seats and upholstery
 

Hey guys, I read on one of the forums, forgot which one, but someone suggested a company called "FIBRENEW" www.fibrenew.com. I checked out their website last night and found there was a couple out here in the Phoenix, AZ area. I called them today and a guy came out and gave me an estimate of $250 to repair my captains chair (6" across and 3" wide tear), some fiberglass enforcement on the chair as it has busted, and about 6-10 minor tears on the rest of my upholstery.

So for you guys, like me, who want to save a bit...check them out. Im letting him do the work....Ill let you know how it turns out.

I think it was 'bpfirrman' that found out about Fibrenew and he was very happy with the repair work they did on his seats. Take some before & after pics and let us know what you think. I'm sure there are a number of others hear that would be happy to give them a try if they do good work.

You'll find bpfirrman's Sticky on Fibernew in the "General Maintenance" forum: Click here

You are absolutely right.....it was bpfirrman, I did some further research and found his post. Unfortunately I forgot to take some before pics...sorry guys, my bad. But I will let ya know how it turns out.
