Where Leaning Posts Can Be Found

Postby DCulbreth » Sun Nov 29, 2020 8:26 am

Where can a Leaning Post for a [1993 19 Outrage II] be found?

The height [of a leaning post for a 1993 19 OUTRAGE II] is a challenge since the leaning post will be sitting atop the live well.

Help [in learning where to find a leaning post] will be greatly appreciated.

I suspect that with the boat now 27-years-old, finding an OEM leaning post--if there actually was such a seating option offered by Boston Whaler--will be very difficult.

Many Boston Whaler boats have been modified to use leaning posts in place of pilot seats or in place of the enormously popular reversible pilot seat that acts much like a leaning post. Leaning posts made by manufacturers such as BIRDSALL MARINE DESIGN have been used with success.

Have look for yourself at the products from BIRDSALL MARINE DESIGN at

Although you mention that height is an important dimension, you fail to give readers any actual dimension for the necessary height, and thus it will be difficult for anyone to give a recommendation for a specific product. If height is an important dimension in your choice of a leaning post, you should give a dimension for the minimum and maximum height you desire in a leaning post. This will give readers some basis to offer you more specific recommendations.

In choosing a leaning post, I would anticipate that the height of the seat portion would be also very important and would be a variable that would be chosen with regard to the stature of the helmsman that would be driving the boat. You should consider the height of a leaning post seat area as another important dimension.

You can find fixed or adjustable leaning posts with or without backrests.

Todd Industries is a major manufacturer.

For a fixed height, you just need to cut the poles to the appropriate height.
