I have one pedestal base in the front of my jon boat. For lack of a better word the bushing has swollen, I guess. I can't get the seat to go in but maybe half way, even while sitting in the seat and trying to work it back and forth. I've tried oiling it, taking a file to it. I'm to the point where i'm just going to try to replace the bushing. The base is on a low deck Edge boat, so I don't have access to the underside. Is my best bet for bushing removal to cut a slit or section out with a modified hack saw? Also my other question is what would be the cause for the bushing to swell in the first place? The boat has spent 95% of it's life stored in a garage.
