A friend of mine has a 1996 Skeeter 180 (I think). His front seat bushing is worn out and his seat "wobbles" quite a bit. Is this something that can be fixed/replaced? If so, how?

It is brass. Do you know where to get a new one?

Raise the front compartment door. pull the plastic box out by removing several screws which hold it in place. Underneath the deck you will find a bracket that is held in place by 2 1/2 headed bolts remove them and replace the brass bushing. May be hard to find but one can be made out of brass stock.
