Greetings ! ...first posting here. We recently bought a used Mainship 350 (1997, with 500 hrs on the engines <no kidding>). We got a really good deal since the previous owner had removed the flooring to the upper helm station (soaked balsa core). I need help with a few things:
- Since we do not have the original flooring, we do not know where the pedestal is supposed to be mounted for the captains chair, so any help with measurements for specific landmarks in the upper helm station would be great. What type of mounting hardware is best to use?
- I see there is a wide variety of captains chairs out there; I'd like to get one that the front part of the seat "flips up", allowing the captain to quickly stand up - and not get pressed against the wheel. Again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Stay safe - and many thanks!
