A pedestal assembly for a boat seat is disclosed which combines in a single lever adjustment the ability to raise and lower the seat as well as to lock or unlock the seat to permit clockwise and counterclockwise swivel action. The lever is pulled up for vertical adjustments up or down. The lever is pushed down facilitating clockwise or counterclockwise pivoting about the pedestal of the seat. When the lever is released it is spring-biased to a neutral position. Depending on the configuration, the seat can be locked in one or more swivelled positions about the pedestal. The seat can be easily detached from the pedestal through a mechanism which remains on the seat mount so that it will not be lost in the boat or overboard. The detachment pin assembly also provides positive feedback that the seat has been properly secured to the pedestal and locked.

[ We claim:] [1.] A pedestal assembly for a boat seat, comprising:a base;a tube structure comprising at least one recess substantially at one end thereon, said tube structure having a longitudinal axis, said tube structure movably mounted with respect to said base;said base comprises a power cylinder connecting said base to said tube structure and having an actuating pin thereon;a seat mount supported by said tube structure;a single lever extending through and pivotally attached to said seat mount and selectively insertable into said recess to interengage said tube structure to said seat mount, thereby mechanically locking them together to prevent seat mount rotation about said longitudinal axis, said lever further movable to engage said pin, thus actuating said power cylinder for longitudinal movement of said seat mount relative to said base.
