Yamaha Marine Seat Swivel Bush

Why these break
Swivel bushes wear and seats rock. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.
We print these in Nylon. Nylon is slippery and fatigue-resistant, which makes it the right choice for parts that pivot, slide or flex thousands of times.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
