Abstract
A boat seat is pivotably hingedly attached along a line parallel to its front edge to a supporting member spaced below the boat seat with shock-absorbing resilient padding located in the spacing between the underside of the boat seat and the supporting member. Preferably the padding is slidably adjustable and also can be removed and replaced with padding of different durometers as necessary for differing conditions.

Shock absorber device for a boat seat, comprising:
- a first member for supporting the underside of a boat seat;
- a second member located and spaced below said first member;
- a hinge pivotably linking together said first and second members along a line generally parallel to the front edge of the boat seat;
- and
- at lease one resilient pad coupled between said first and second members for absorbing the force of an impact to the boat seat, said pad adjustably slidably movable between said members.
