So my wife has been asking for arm rests on the last three boats And since we've never had a newer boat with fancy seats, she's had to wedge herself against the backrest when the seas are rough to keep from flying out. After looking at every aftermarket seat option, I was finally about to throw down $2k on the Llebroc Billfish leaning post bench...but we tried it out on a new Nautic Star and were just meh. The bolster support wasn't great and she just wasn't thrilled (especially not for $2K). Cruising eBay I stumbled across these new Taco folding armrests. tacomarine.com/seating-hardware-k10-0004a-skwEven better, I found some factory seconds with upholstery for $90 a pair. www.ebay.com/itm/Taco-Marine-Seating-Hardware-White-Pivot-Port-Helm-Seat-Left-Armrest-K10-0004A-1/333272262304?hash=item4d989326a0:g:AUUAAOSwazpdM0HnFinally got around to mounting them today and they work perfectly! I plan to redo the vinyl in the next year, so I'll get the armrest cushions redone to match. I'll also need to notch the seat base a bit (where the blue tape is)...I'm sure an upholstery guy will get it to work. Wife is happy and I've still got $1910 in my pocket, lol. Attachments:

Looks real good. I'm sure the wife will appreciate them.

I saw this on the book of faces yesterday. Very nice upgrade. Let us know how you and the wife like them after using them for a while.
