Quick take
A plastic adapter that converts standard 1.77-inch pedestal bases to accept 3/4 inch posts, for upgrading rod storage configurations.
This Attwood Swivl-Eze adapter bushing, model SP-14000, steps a 1.77-inch pedestal base down so it accepts a 3/4-inch post. It is a small plastic piece that weighs about 2 grams, so it adds almost nothing to a boat setup. Pick it when your pedestal base is the larger size and the rod holder or seat post you want to mount is the 3/4-inch kind.
Best for
- Converting existing pedestal rod racks to fit different post sizes
- Anglers upgrading or repurposing storage systems
Skip if
- Your bases and posts already match
- You need a durable metal adapter for heavy-use applications
Strengths
- Lightweight plastic won't add unnecessary weight to rod storage
- Simple plug-and-play design requires no assembly
- Allows repurposing of existing pedestal bases with different post sizes
Trade-offs
- Plastic may flex under the weight of heavy rods over time
- Limited to bases with standard 1.77 in diameter
- Lightweight design means less stability with a tall or heavily loaded storage setup
