Attwood Marine Swivl-Eze Low Back Padded Flip Seat, 15 x 16 x 16 in, ABYC B, UV and Mildew-Resistant Vinyl

Overview

The Attwood Marine Swivl-Eze Low Back Padded Flip Seat is a compact folding boat seat for anglers and passengers who need padded seating without taking up much deck or cockpit space. The low-back flip design makes sense on fishing boats, jon boats, utility boats, and small runabouts where seats often need to fold down between moves, casts, or storage.

The seat has a high-impact plastic frame, aluminum hinges, and UV and mildew-resistant vinyl that can be wiped clean after spray, sunscreen, bait handling, or general dockside use. Its compact footprint measures 15 in wide x 16 in deep x 16 in high, and the standard seat hole mounting pattern helps it fit common marine seat mounts and pedestal setups.

This seat carries an ABYC B classification, which means it is intended for passenger use and not for the helm or driver position. That distinction matters when matching seating to the right place on board, especially on boats where helm seating needs a different rating.

Key features

• Low-back flip seat format saves space when the seat is folded down between uses.
• 15 in W x 16 in D x 16 in H size fits compact cockpits, casting decks, and small boat seating areas.
• UV and mildew-resistant vinyl helps the seating surface handle sun exposure and damp marine conditions.
• Easy-to-clean vinyl surface is practical after fishing, trailering, storage, and weekend use.
• High-impact plastic frame keeps the seat structure light enough for small boat layouts.
• Aluminum hinges support the folding action without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Standard seat hole mounting pattern works with common boat seat hardware and pedestal mounts.
• ABYC B classification is intended for passenger seating, not helm or driver seating.

Variants

This Swivl-Eze low-back padded flip seat is offered in three color configurations so the seat can match different boat interiors, fishing layouts, and deck finishes.

The color is the main difference between the variants. The low-back flip format, UV and mildew-resistant vinyl, high-impact plastic frame, aluminum hinges, standard seat hole mounting pattern, and ABYC B passenger-use classification remain consistent across the range.

• 98395CAMO: Color Camo. The camo finish fits fishing and hunting-style layouts where the seat can blend with outdoor gear and natural-tone deck accessories.
• 98395GY: Color Gray. Gray gives the seating area a neutral look that pairs well with aluminum boats, utility interiors, and darker deck hardware.
• 98395WH: Color White. White works well with light gelcoat, clean cockpit trim, and classic small-boat interiors.

Installation and fit

The standard seat hole mounting pattern is the key fit detail for installation. It allows the seat to be mounted to compatible marine seat bases, swivels, or pedestal hardware that use the same pattern. Before installation, the mounting surface should be checked for structure, access below the deck, and proper backing so the seat stays secure under normal passenger movement.

Because this is an ABYC B passenger seat, it should be placed where a passenger seat is appropriate rather than at the helm. It is a practical match for fishing positions, side seating, utility seating, and occasional passenger spots where a folding low-back seat is preferred over a tall-back chair.

Use on board

This seat is a good fit for boaters who want a simple folding seat that can handle regular freshwater or saltwater use without a complicated installation. The vinyl covering and folding form make it useful on boats that see fishing gear, wet clothing, spray, and frequent cleaning.

For small fishing boats, skiffs, jon boats, and compact runabouts, the low-back shape gives seating support while keeping the cockpit more open than a taller seat. When folded, it helps reduce obstruction around casting areas, storage access, and movement through the boat.

Maintenance and care

After use, rinse off salt, dirt, and fish residue with fresh water and wipe the vinyl dry when possible. A mild soap solution is usually enough for routine cleaning. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads, since they can shorten the life of the vinyl surface and stitching.

When the boat is stored outside, a cover or protected storage position will help reduce long-term UV exposure. Check the hinge area and mounting hardware periodically, especially after trailering or rough water, to keep the folding action and attachment points secure.
