Help! How do you mount boat seats on G!?
I am revamping a Yamaha G1 with original bucket seats. They are torn and old and need to be replaced. Since it is nearly impossible to find original G1 bucket seats, I read that people use boat bucket seats. Looked at a few.
PLEASE someone tell me how to mount them in a G1. Thank you so much in advance. Bodzcampers |

Re: Help! How do you mount boat seats on G!?
You'll likely have to make a steel bracket to mount the new seats to. Boat seats have mounting holes to use bolts in for mounting. Typically 4 bolts mount to some kind of steel bracket. I used some flat bar and angle iron for mine. I just used the flat bar on the bottom where it mounts to the golf cart, then welded up some angle for the bolt holes to mount to. I think you're pretty much going to have to fabricate a steel mount, you probably won't find any kind of pre-made brackets that will work without modification.

If the mounting holes on the seats dont line up with the original structure, you can cut some 3/8ths steel strap about 2 inches thick drilled to accept the mounting points.
Our mounting on these seats only required drilling the existing structure from the OE seat mounting. |
