Boat Seats

I have white flexible plastic on the back of some of my seats.
about 1/4 in think. mainly on the back rests that are curved.
would anyone know the correct name for it? i dont find anything online

I believe you are referring to piping.

[tech62571]

it would be used instead of plywood

Starboard?

[jparsons121]

It’s a nylon material of some kind. I used starboard as a replacement when redoing my upholstery. Not exactly the same material, but it worked.

starboard is stiff.. this stuff bends

Then it’s probably nylon or a similar plastic like jp said.

[jparsons121]

Or it could be HDPE (High Density Polyethylene).
Are you looking to replace them?
Unless they are broken, I always just reuse them.

HPDE is a good material that will accept a curve if heated properly and secured in the desired position to cool. It also accepts and holds staples pretty well.

I need an extra piece after redoing the seat.
looking that up, it does look like that.
ill order a piece and let you guys know.
thanks as always for the info

Hi Iv got an maxum bowrider with back to back seats which are falling apart the wood in them are rotten does anyone know where I can buy them from thanks

best thing to do is google back to back boat seats. finding colors that match is the hard part.
mine are made of plastic so i decided to recover mine. im doing them myself but i did get quoted $450 to redo them plus the vinyl
