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.

swivel ease part no 587987 is the brass insert much easier to take a chisel cut the flange off the top an drive the new one in with a dead blow hammer. if you cant find one i have them pm me
