Best used as a replacement aftermarket retrofit part to address the discontinued Phase3 seat pads for Wilderness Systems kayaks. Comes with push rivets! (Long Size) The PhaseB Seat Bottom Pad is a remanufactured copy of the Wilderness Systems seat pad for Phase3 seats. It is best used as a replacement bottom pad for all Phase3 seating and Phase3 Lite, including early Phase3 seats, in Wilderness Systems kayaks, circa 2002 to 2012.
Made of UV resistant Sunbrella fabric with 1/2 inch foam padding. This seat pad is nearly identical to the First Generation Phase3 Pad (7900-0042), the Second Generation Phase3 Pad (9800020) and the Phase 3 Lite Seat Pad (9800061). All three pads, including this PhaseB, fit the same seat. The padding is a little thicker and the fabric is significantly more durable.
The PhaseB seat pad is 18.25 inches wide by 18 inches front to back. Comes with four push rivets. The center push rivets holes are 4 inches on center. Instructions are not available, but this is an easy job to do.
This seat bottom pad is a mate to the PhaseB Seat Back Cover. See a photo of the finished result of the PhaseB seat pads on the Phase3 seat.
How To: Pull out the original push rivets with pliers or clip off heads with wire cutters. Pull away old seat pad. Insert the four push rivets into the four holes in the PhaseB seat pad. Arrange the small pockets on the forward edge of the new pad onto the forward edge of the Leg Lifter Pannel. Expect the pockets to fit tightly, just like the original pad did. Insert the two middle push rivets into the holes in the middle of the seat structure first. Insert the two aft push rivets into the holes in the rear of the seat structure last. Tip, use a hammer handle, or wooden dowel, to firmly push down the rivets (do NOT pound with hammer like a nail). This will take some effort! This will require strong hands.
Phase3 seating is also used on the WindRider trimaran, model years 2002 through 2005. This part can be used as a replacement for Wind Rider sailboats for the model years 2002 through 2005.
