Murder Max Mods

Here’s what a lot of folks have expressed interest in - adding hinges to the bulky side bench seats on the max.

Keep in mind I am adding ballast under these seats so I don’t need access to the bottom of the compartment. If I was using it for storage I would use a different type of hinge so the seat goes up and back instead of forward and down.

Note: This is a temporary test run to see if they will work. I only put 2 screws in the seat bottom and used double sided sticky tape on the seat base. I’ll go back and add more screws to the seat and drill out the base and use machine screws with washers and nylon lock nuts when I have more time.

That looks like a nice solution. In travel with boards in that storage area but I think it would still be easy to get them in and out. Hmmmm, I may have to order a set.

Looks like the hinge link no longer goes directly to the item. Any idea what the part number or description of these hinges are?

Thanks

When I looked last winter everyone was sold out and prices were triple.
If you find them let me know where. I want to add them to my mojo.

This solution looks great! Any idea where I would find up and back hinges and what those would look like?

Thanks

These are the type of hinge:

Sea-Doo New OEM Sport Boat Seat Hinge Bracket Set 230 Challenger, SP, Wake https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GVT3K4G..._SanqDb7AB02P4

But there is one major problem.... there is no cross support to mount the rearward hinge to on the max. Only solution would be to build one from hdpe.
