Hi All. I’ve seen some old threads asking about this. Anyone have 2024 info or source for observer seat hinges? I’m getting my seats reupholstered and the hinges are super bent up and it seems wrong to remount the new seat on them.

Have not bought these since my 86 silver nautique hinges are in good shape.  But these look like an exact match for them.  Not sure if it's the flat mount or the 90 degree mount hinge and can't check since the boat is on a lift at the shore but you should be able to tell.

Not those. I mean the cantilever type hinge on the back of the observer seat, that gives better access to the bow storage area.

I tried contacting Tim from this post with no luck yet.

There are lots of other threads too, but I have not seen a solution yet. There has to be someone else that has figured this out!

Yep, read that wrong, I was thinking of the back seat for some reason.  Mine were bent as well though not that badly.  I pounded them straight and added screws to the top holes on each hinge since that's were the force seems to be causing the bend.
