4600 SCB Helm Seat adjustment?

[Tlindy]

Hello,
I just bought a 1999 4600 SCB, and the flybridge seat (dual seat) is supposed to be adjustable. I can see some sort of mechanism under the seat, but have no idea on how to raise it.

I tried pulling straight up but the seat doesn't want to move and I don't want to break it.

Any advice will be very helpful.

Thanks!!

A height adjustable dual seat? My assumption is that, it would slide forward/backward.

Thank you Shrew, you are correct. It slides fore and aft, not up and down. Moving the seat forward does not improve my sightline enough. I need to devise a way to raise the seat so I can see over the windshield.

I took a different approach and added a cushion. These are the best throwable cushions around (link below). I got two and keep them at the helm as a bolster and back rest. Also work great for sitting on the swim platform/bow, etc. I bought them over 5 years ago and they still look new and they meet the “throwable” requirement.

There’s also another product called bolster buddy that may be worth looking into.
