Seat order from Triumph

[HighTechRedneck]

Call Merritt marine and have it shipped to your door. They seem to be very good at knowing what you need when it comes to a Triumph. When i call my local dealer (I wont say which one) they seem to know much less and have a hard time giving me prices and/or getting me the parts. They didn't even know what RULE is or how to get it.

fishrubber,

The factory wanted me to have you call Bryant at the support line ((919) 382-3149) so he can hook you up with a dealer to get you seats shipped to you. I don't know what the hold up was but hopefully they can help you take care of this.

Thanks Randy, I will give them a call. I talked to my local dealer this morning and they mentioned getting an email from the factory but no other info. Seems rather weird!

I would like to thank Triumph owners network for helping me get the new seats that my local dealer never got for me. One call to Karl at Merritt Marine did the job, he shipped the seats to me that same day and I received them within a week’s time on the west coast. Our local Triumph dealer has since closed his doors and is out of business No loss there.
Thanks again for those that posted and helped.

Glad to hear it worked out for you and the guys at Merritt are great

The next time somebody needs to do such because the leaning post is not fitting correct, you may want to consider the route I took... I had a local welder come over to the house and cut mine down and refit it for me (my) rear and then we screwed it down to the deck

What Triumph really needs to do, is mount the the leaning post on tongue and groove sliders (much like your truck seat and Captain chairs) so you can also slide them back and forth as needed and then lock them down. Strange how as a Nation, we have been building boats much longer than cars, yet our automotive products are so much further advanced even down to them most simple of comfort and safety related items

Other such items I can think of that should be pretty much standard equipment...

• Tilt Steering
• Helm wheel with speed knobs on them (don't leave home without such if running in any kind of seas or docking in cross winds)
• Fixed mounted flush navigation lights and flush mounted cleats
• Spring retainers to hold up the various hatches (less smashed fingers )
• Clear windscreens so you can see through them at night...
• LED deck lighting that lights up the deck, but does not kill your night vision from being too bright. Thankfully the LED replacement bulbs in my 190 console do such.

How soon we forget that many comfort related items, also make them safer because the pilot is less tired when operating said vessel
