marzomi Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I bought a swivel eeze pin post because i believed this was the correct post for my bow seat base. It goes in about 1/2 and inch and stopped hard. It doesnt go in deep enough for the fat part of the seat post to rest against the wider gas cap opening so its very wobbly Any ideas?

Tarpon1215 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Is something in the hatch blocking it or an object in the pin hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzomi Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Here's the issue. Factory drilled the hole off centered. This really pisses me off on a rig with this price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyshon Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I would suggest you get GSY to do the repair, it is covered under warranty. Not a big repair but will most likely require some gelcoat work. Hate to see that but it happens on occasion when you have humans involved.

marzomi Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 i fixed it myself Skip. if i brought it there i lose too many days. i turned around the repair in 2 days. My motto is dont own a boat if u cannot fix anything that they present u i just find this kind of thing frustrating. if the assembly folks tried to insert a seat pole they would have immediately seen the error.

NCTribute Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Mine was off center also, but only a little, was able to ream out the bushing enough to get it to fit. Yes, if humans are involved issues can occur, but humans can develop processes to build in quality and also check things to make sure a customer does not have to deal with the problem. Every time an issue is brought up the answer is always ‘that is what dealers are for’. Frankly I am tired of fixing issues on my boat that should have been caught at the factory. Have been involved in manufacturing for almost 34 years (Mechanical Engineer & 6 Sigma Black Belt) and MBC is definitely lacking in the quality department. Have bought two new MBC boats, but will need some convincing for there to be a third. I like and enjoy my boat, but too many other guys out there have stepped up their game. Not trying to bad mouth, just telling it like it is. I am retiring soon, would even offer to review and make suggestions on how to improve things there if someone would take me fishing.

marzomi Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Repair looks perfect. For anyone who fishes like me and likes a bow leaner this millennium seat is simply awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstone Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Looks great and I'm thinking about getting one. You do need to clean that deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
