Anyone have a recommendation how to best install a Todd Supreme fighting chair in a 2006 Montauk 170 in front of the console? With the igloo cooler removed, there's a lot of room to rotate sitting in the seat and the top of the anchor locker provides a nice flat surface to layout the tackle boxes.

Because the deck has no reinforcement, I mounted the pedestal to a teak plank for stability with DriDeck between the planks and the deck.

It works, but will bounce about in a chop. Is there a better way?

Typically the optional chair is mounted the the wall of the bow platform area and are through bolted with backing plates via the anchor locker.

See this photo:

The weight of me and the chair is north of 350 pounds... I wonder if the anchor locker plates can support that much weight + a big fish pulling with the chair twisting around and back and forth?
