Old Town Kayak Minn Kota, AutoPilot & Sportsman (Paddle) Rear Seat Riser System

We now have 1/2" and 1" plastic spacers available!

Please Note:  If you install risers taller than 2.25",  you will most likely need to modify the straps that hold down the seat.  Please see the video on this page for more information.

Made for the Old Town Sportsman (paddle), Minn Kota and AutoPilot models, this system lets you easily find the right riser height for your comfort.  The combination of the seat riser, with built in ~3/4" rise and 1/2" wood or plastic spacers makes it super easy to change heights.  

If you purchase/have purchased wood spacers to test heights and would like to upgrade to plastic spacers, please reach out to us for a credit on the wood spacers that you can apply to the purchase of plastic spacers.

Please watch the included video that goes over this system.  We are currently limited at 3.25" height due to hardware availability but you can use non-stainless hardware as shown in the video to go higher than 3.25".

Hardware that comes with each system will only work for the system height ordered.  However, these use very common #10-24 stainless hardware so it is very easy to pick up different length screws at the hardware store.  If you would like an assortment of hardware with your order, please contact us.

If you would like additional hardware to try out different seat heights, we have added extra screw sets.  These are completely optional as the risers/spacers come with the necessary hardware for the height chosen

• Risers Only - Pair of plastic seat risers with built in 3/4"
