My captains chair broke last season. I tried to ghetto fix it up with some epoxy but that didn't work. What breaks is the plastic base where the slide is mounted. It's a cheapo piece, but not replaceable.
So I had to add some 3/4 inch plywood over the base and then mount the slide to the plywood. I used flex seal to seal the plywood (had it in the house) and got some t nuts from Ace and the local upholstery shop. The T nuts shown in the picture installed in the wood without the sliding base on didn't work out. I had to take the plywood off and put the T nuts on the back side so that the slider base pulled down on the plywood, otherwise it just ripped the nuts right out of the wood.
Not the best fix, cost me $4 bucks for the SS bolts, T nuts and some silicone, but should last long enough for me to figure out a new captains chair in the next few seasons.
