H. O. Bostrom launches the JX-190 Series Adjustable Height Jockey Seat for high speed commercial, patrol, military and rough sea boating applications

May 1, 2007 (Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA) - H.O. Bostrom Co. has added the new high performance JX-190 Series Jockey Seat to the SeaPost® marine seating line. The JX-190 Series reduces rider fatigue and injury in high speed and rough sea boating applications. The JX-190 Series seat exceeds International Marine Organization (IMO) specifications for High Speed Craft (HSC) and is designed to isolate shock up to 6Gs.

Dual Seaspension® shock-absorbing pedestals feature internal progressively-rated stainless steel springs that self-adjust to occupant weight and sea conditions. Independent testing shows that the pedestals reduce the impact felt by riders by over 50% and provide a steady ride as they absorb shock waves and pounding in rough seas.

The JX-190 Jockey Seat withstands a 15G load and features all non-corrosive materials for outstanding strength and protection in salt-water environments. One-touch height adjust control allows quick rider fit while in transit. An ergonomic thermo-formed cushion provides rider comfort. Padded, adjustable side cushions can be used in an upright position for grab handles or they can be used in a downward position for added comfort when riders are straddling the seat or leaning back against the seat. Options for padded, adjustable back rests and front handrails provide additional comfort and a secure-hold for riders.

H.O. Bostrom provides SeaPost seat and suspension systems for various applications in the marine industry including adjustable helm seats, crew seats, shock-isolating suspensions and special designs for the commercial shipbuilders and government agencies. H.O. Bostrom also provides standard and custom engineered seating solutions to various other niche equipment markets and has satisfied customers for over 60 years.
