SHOCKWAVE S5-AL ALUMINIUM SUSPENSION SEAT BASE
Available to order for collect — supplier, typically 2–10 business days
The Shockwave S5-AL suspension base provides comfort and safety to boaters, offering them an experience they’ve never had before. It offers a smoother, safer and more comfortable ride, protecting occupants from the shock of wave impact. Made from anodized A360 cast aluminum that has been powder coated and fitted with 316 stainless steel hardware, the S5-AL suspension base utilizes a four-link forward action suspension design. Suspension travel is 4-inch vertical and 1.5-inch forward, mitigating deceleration associated with wave impacts. Recreational boaters can now stay out longer and travel farther with less fatigue. It is easily and quickly installed in virtually any boat and can be mounted on a riser box or a short, stocky pedestal with minimal effort. The maximum occupant weight for the S5-AL Suspension Base is 113kgs (250lbs) on a vessel that sees maximum deck accelerations of 3g’s. For calm waters and deck of accelerations less then 2g’s, a 136kg (300lb) occupant is acceptable. Each seat base is supplied with the necessary Shock Pump & Gauge to operate the S5 suspension base. Features: Improved performance and strength Increased lateral stability Designed and manufactured in Canada Custom tuned and valved, fully adjustable marine FOX Rhythm air spring & shock absorber Suspension travel: 4-inch vertical / 1.5-inch forward Mitigating deceleration associated with wave impacts Adjustable rebound rate Minimal parts count and simple construction Marine grade aluminum die cast construction Stable 8 pivot design for higher loads and a smoother ride High life cycle IGUS bushings 316 stainless steel hardware Easy to mount and adapt to current seating Supplied with required Shockwave Shock Pump & Gauge to operate. Shock Adjustment Settings: Setting the sag height is designed to be a starting point. To get the most out of the suspension base the shock absorber can be fine-tuned. This is done using rebound tuning to optimize ride quality as well as for varying sea conditions. Rebound Adjustment Rebound controls the rate of speed at which the shock returns to the sag position after compressing. The rebound adjustment is dependent on the air pressure setting. Higher pressure requires slower rebound settings. Use the procedure below to find the correct rebound setting. Faster Rebound: In high frequency and small wave activity, a faster rebound can improve your suspension performance. Turning the red rebound adjuster counter-clockwise will make the seat rebound faster. Slower Rebound: In low frequency and large wave activity, a slower rebound can improve your suspension performance. Turning the red rebound adjuster clockwise will make the seat rebound slower.
