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.

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?
