Abyss Battery Sea Swivel Trolling Motor Mount - AB-SEAS-1

Introducing the Sea Swivel: an industry first purpose-built, heavy duty swiveling mount. This Patent designed product allows adjustments to the stowed position to match any angle for any boat and also moves to the deployed position for shaft clearance of the rub rail. This means no more covered anchor locker hatches, blocked forward seating or protruding trolling motor heads when stowed. Plus, deploying a trolling motor offshore is now safer than ever, as anglers don't have to leave the safety of the deck. Fits all major brands of trolling motors. All that is needed is an 8" x 8" flat mounting surface or a 10" x 10" for the Sea Swivel XL, and access under the gunnel to tighten the nut.

Q&A

Maintenance Tip

• Keep pivot clean & lubricated: Rinse salt, sand, and debris after every trip; apply marine-grade anti-seize or light lubricant to the swivel bearing points to ensure smooth rotation.
• Inspect mounting torque regularly: Check the main bolt and perimeter fasteners periodically—over time, vibration can loosen hardware on rough water.
• Avoid over-tightening: Excess torque can damage the bearing assembly or reduce swivel movement efficiency; follow recommended torque limits (do not exceed ~80 ft-lbs).
• Check alignment before trips: Ensure trolling motor is properly seated in both stowed and deployed positions to avoid shaft or rub rail contact.
• Corrosion control: Even with anodized aluminum and stainless hardware, rinse thoroughly after saltwater exposure to prevent pitting and galvanic corrosion.
• Seal mounting surface: Inspect silicone seals under the base plate periodically to prevent water intrusion into the deck.
• Monitor swivel stiffness: If movement becomes stiff, slightly loosen main bolt or clean bearing stack to restore smooth operation.
• Check quick-release system: Ensure trolling motor puck and locking mechanism are free of debris and fully engaged before running.
• Annual deep inspection: Remove, clean, and re-torque mounting system once per season for maximum safety and lifespan.
