Could we have a picture of the mounting bracket under the seat?

I was wondering if it would work in a Hobie also.

I'm feeling a bit helpful right now.

I modified a boat seat similar to that but the one i used in my Outback was the heavy cushioned type. Even though i sat up higher i also did not notice any problems and it worked great even in rough conditions.

I had four connection points and i replaced the two screw in holders in front of the Outback seat with hobies pad eye screw ins and i clipped the front of the seat (both sides) to those.

I ran a stiff stainless wire through the bottom of the seat which protruded out both sides and i bent them into loops. Those were the connection points up front.

I had two in the back as well. The point is you can do it on an Outback with a little ingenuity.
