Just curious how you guys store your pedestals when they aren't being used. I always take mine out and leave them in the middle storage compartment on the front of my nitro. I was thinking it would be nice to have some kind of clamp or mount that held them securely so they wouldn't rattle or move around. Has anybody got anything like this that they bought or made themselves? Any ideas are appreciated

Both Nitros that I have owned have clamps for front and rear pedestals as well as the light pole for the stern in the starboard rod locker side wall.  Couldn't find them in the BPS online catalog.  Try calling a BPS and ask for Tracker Marine.  Tell them what you are looking for.  If they don't have them in stock they should be able to order them for you.

I store the pedestals in the middle compartment of my Tracker and leave the seats in place on the decks.

Seats in the deck holes, pedestal under console seats.

I just leave mine installed.

I take all my batteries inside, and store in the garage, and hook up a 3 batt charger made by Minnkota.  You don't need the

fast charge when storing batts.  As for my seats, I bring them inside and store above my garage.  I have in the past left my

life jackets in the boat only to find that mice had ruined them come spring.  I add moth balls in my compartments to ward off

mice, and hang perfumed dryer sheets to keep mice out to no avail.  My electronics store in the cellar until spring.

 

I hook up the batt charger, like you would in a boat, and it just maintains them all winter long.  I also picked it up on sale

and love it for this purpose.
