Our verdict

A smart upgrade for any swivel-equipped boat seat: the quick-disconnect base stays mounted on the pedestal and the ball-bearing swivel plate stays on the seat, so you just lift to remove the seat for travel or storage. It works with all pedestal brands or any flat 8 x 9 inch surface and includes a 6-1/4 inch 360-degree swivel. Budget a few minutes to line up the slotted holes to your hardware.

Best for
Boat owners who want to quickly remove and reinstall swivel seats for travel, storage, or between boats.
Skip if
Your mounting surface is smaller than 8 x 9 inches, or you are outside the 48 continental US.

Why 3.5/5: The page names the 6 1/4 inch swivel, the pedestal and flat-surface fit and the materials for a $29.99 set. It loses points for no weight rating or hardware list, an all-brands fit claim with no list, no warranty and return freight at your cost.

The Quick Disconnect Boat Seat Mount is a $29.99 mounting set in the boat accessories range, sold as one complete set: a quick-disconnect base and a 6-1/4 inch seat swivel.

The two pieces split the job. The quick-disconnect base mounts to the boat seat pedestal, and the swivel mounts to the bottom of the seat. Together they let any seat with a swivel install and come off quickly -- lift and slide the seat out when you are heading home. The swivel itself is a 6-1/4 inch base with 360-degree ball-bearing rotation, which keeps the seat turning smoothly while you fish.

Compatibility is broad: the set works on all brands of pedestals or any flat 8 x 9 inch surface. It is made from durable engineered plastic and coated structural steel. One installation note from the listing -- there are two rows of slotted holes to fit swivels in most sizes, but you may need to remove the iron plate and reinstall it to match your swivel's hole pattern.

Leader Accessories ships only within the 48 continental United States -- no Alaska, Hawaii, international, PO Box, or APO/FPO addresses. Orders of $70 or more ship free; otherwise shipping is a flat $10. Processing takes 1-2 business days and transit runs 2-6 business days. Returns are accepted within 30 days. Defective, wrong, or incomplete items get a prepaid return label, while personal-reason returns are at the buyer's expense. Exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before the item ships. Sale items and gift cards are excluded from returns under the policy.

How it compares

The Boat Seat Mount Clamp-On Base with Swivel and Quick Release, Adjustable 7.5-18 Inch, for Jon Boats is $45.99, which is $16.00 more, and its page gives only a title and no description. This set is the better documented of the two: it names a 6 1/4 inch swivel, a pedestal or flat 8 x 9 inch fit, and the materials. Seats such as the Low Back Folding Fishing Boat Seats ($74.99, 250 lbs) fit "any standard 4-bolt swivel or pedestal" but need a seat mount bought separately.

Shipping, returns and warranty

  • Where it ships: the 48 continental US states only (not Alaska or Hawaii), and not to PO Boxes or military addresses (APO, FPO). Confirm the address before ordering: later changes may cost extra.
  • Shipping fee and time: free from $70, otherwise $10. Processing takes 1-2 business days, then delivery takes 2-6 business days by USPS, UPS or another carrier, with tracking by email. The policy adds that the store usually runs promotions that make shipping free on most items, without saying which. Report a shipping problem to [email protected] within 30 days of ordering.
  • Return window: 30 days from receipt to request a return or exchange. Ask the store for the return address first; the item goes back in its original packaging, in a condition that does not stop it being resold.
  • Who pays return shipping: the store sends a prepaid label only for a defective, incorrect or incomplete item, and only after it accepts the request; for a return for any other reason you pay the freight. For a wrong item it reimburses the return shipping fee once the item is back.
  • Refunds: to the original payment method once the warehouse has inspected the return; the credit can take 7 to 10 more business days to post. A $10 shipping fee comes off the refund when the remaining products on the order are worth under $30, and the policy does not say whether a full return counts.
  • Exchanges and cancellations: an exchange is possible only within 24 hours of ordering, before the parcel ships, and if the item is in stock; a processed order cannot be cancelled.
  • Not returnable: sale items and gift cards, plus custom products, perishables, personal care goods and hazardous materials. The policy does not say what counts as a sale item.
  • Warranty: none stated. The terms of service sell products "as is" and "as available" and disclaim implied warranties, including durability and fitness for a purpose. Leader Accessories is both the brand and the store, and the /pages/warranty, /pages/faq, /pages/faqs and /pages/contact addresses returned 404 pages on 2026-10-25.
  • Prices and errors: the terms let the store change prices without notice, correct errors in descriptions, prices or shipping charges, and cancel an order even after it is placed; they also say on-screen colors may not be accurate.

Where the pages disagree

  • Shipping speed: the banner on Leader's product pages says "Free Same-Day Shipping over $70", while the shipping policy sets 1-2 business days of processing before a 2-6 day delivery window.
  • Returns and exchanges: the banner says "30-Day Easy Return & Exchange", while the refund policy allows an exchange only within 24 hours of ordering and before shipment, and excludes sale items.
  • Money-back wording: the refund page is headed "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee", yet the text under it covers defective, incorrect or incomplete items and puts return freight for any other reason on you.
  • Two clocks: shipping problems must be reported within 30 days of ordering, while the return window runs 30 days from receipt.
  • Who explains the terms: the refund policy ends by reserving the store's right to explain its own terms.

For this listing

The page shows $29.99 with no crossed-out price, but the policy does not say what makes a "sale item", so ask [email protected] before ordering if a return matters to you. At $29.99 on its own the order pays the $10 shipping fee; it ships free once the order reaches $70.

What we liked

  • Fast and easy installation and removal of any seat that has a swivel -- lift to slide the seat out
  • The 6-1/4 inch swivel plate runs on 360-degree ball bearings for smooth rotation
  • Mounts to all brands of pedestals or any flat 8 x 9 inch surface
  • Built from durable engineered plastic and coated structural steel
  • Two rows of slotted holes accommodate swivels in most sizes

Worth noting

  • Leader Accessories ships only within the 48 continental US (not Alaska, Hawaii, or international)
  • Swivel fit is a DIY adjustment: the listing says you remove the iron plate and reinstall it to fit your swivel size
  • Non-pedestal mounting requires a flat 8 x 9 inch surface, so smaller or curved mounting areas will not work

From the store

What we couldn’t verify

  • The page gives no weight capacity and does not list mounting hardware, so what holds the swivel to the seat is unconfirmed. It names no warranty.
  • "Works on all brands of pedestals" is a fit claim with no list; for some swivel sizes the iron plate must be removed and reinstalled, a do-it-yourself change.
  • The page says "engineered plastic and coated structural steel", then "iron plate" and "Durability Steel Construction"; it does not say which parts are plastic, steel or iron.
  • "360-Degree" rotation and "ball bearing" are stated with no load rating, and the page does not say how the quick disconnect locks.
