Nothing more thrilling than to have the pilot's seat (18c) let go when at speed. Absolutely no warning, and the seat went to port with me in it. Bad enough, but my right forearm hit the throttle and the boat went hard over to port, almost rolling.

Having survived, excepting my shorts, I now need a repair. Can one run bolts down through the steel mounting brackets from the inside of the bucket? Or is it time to put all new hardware in? I want to be able to use the existing bucket.

Glad to still be here.
