Wouldn't you just leave the swivels on and use the hinge lock? I used to have both but I just bolted everything else.Need one or more to finish my latest modifications to my little boat. Can't seem to buy them anymore, was hoping someone might have one that is surplus to their requirements
I live in Campbell River.

Gotcha.I understand what you are saying, and that is the way it used to be set up. Tilt up bolt replaced with a locking one and the swivel bolted to a base. Worked great, but I have recently added a riser, which took the place of the swivel and is now bolted to the boat. With the swivel base mounted on the top of the riser I need a locking device for the swivel mount as the bolts and nuts are now exposed and very susceptible to easy removable.
use an Allen headed cap bolt ...
and its sad that things need to be locked down....
i just hate things that rattle on my boat .....
just buy a few geese as guard pets....lol
I’d be surprised if any online store has these. They were discontinued a few years ago and I struggled to find a set. Eventually found some on east coast US. If you can get them, hoard them. They are spongeworthy.
Welding a nut or two that are now exposed due to the risers seems like the best solution.
