I have a Ranger boat and like most bass boats it has interchangeable
seating with posts that fit in holes in the floor. Anyway, mine seem to
be
binding up to the point where I need a monkey wrench to move them at all
and
it takes 2 people to get one out. I called the dealer and he said he
never
heard of this (usually the posts get loose and he sells a new sleeve to
fill
in the slack). I know I'm going to have to ream the holes a bit, I did it
one with the first post it started with. But now 2 more are doing the
same
thing, what might be the cause? I'd like to straighten this out once and
for all, any suggestions?
Also, what kind of lubricant would work well on the plastic lining of
the hole? I'm afraid to use anything that might soften up the plastic.

WD-40 won't soften the plastic and is easy enough to just keep a small can
in your tool box. There's a product called Never-Seize that is awesome,
that stuff is slicker than deer guts on a door knob, but I don't know how it
will react with the plastic. My gut reaction is that it will be fine, but
it's not my boat....
