When you call that number, they can also tell you what the rear mounts are for...

If you just screw it to the floor deck, you"ll eventually regret it...the #14 Spare recommends are the only way to go for a bolt-down that's gonna get that much abuse...being tall like that, the LEVERAGE factor w/the weight at the top, in seas will be BIG...peeps LEANING against it in rough water, etc...not to mention vibration...#14s I'm pretty sure are same as 1/4"...and the toggles Phat Daddy shows above are the are the way to go. unless there is access under the deck and you can use nylocks and fender-washers...

W/either fastener, you'll wanna bed 'em down w/4200 or 5200...but let me show you something...

This as a "butterfly" toggler that was inserted thru so much silicone that it stuck to the side of the screw and was rendered useless...it never opened under the deck...
W/the ones PD shows, I don't think this can happen, but still, I would put all fasteners in place (dry fit) and then apply the bedding...4 small wedges under the feet will lift it while you squirt the juice to to it...
BUT BEFORE you do all that, coat the insides of all the new holes you've just drilled thru the core w/some epoxy resin or equal so seal 'em up good, lest floor rot invades FishBones!!...

Wish I could scoot back up there and give you a hand w/that install, but kinda got my hands full at the moment...and I wouldn't be surprised if the seats that come out don't find their way to a venerable V-20 somewhere...LOL!!

Show us some pics of your new throne installation in the Floating Pleasure Palace, there King-O!!...
