Shockwave S5-AL Marine Seat Suspension Base – Black | MPN: SW-07823-B

Upgrade your boat seating with the Shockwave S5-AL Suspension Base - Black (SW-07823-B), a heavy-duty marine suspension system engineered to reduce the shock and fatigue caused by wave impacts. Formerly known as the S5 Sentinel, the S5-AL combines a durable aluminum construction with a four-link forward-action suspension design to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride in demanding marine conditions.

The S5-AL features a custom-tuned FOX Rhythm air spring and shock with adjustable rebound, allowing the suspension to respond effectively to changing water conditions and occupant weight. With 4 inches of vertical travel and 1.5 inches of forward travel, the system helps absorb wave impacts while reducing the abrupt deceleration transferred to the seat occupant.

Built for long-term marine use, the S5-AL is constructed from anodized A360 cast aluminum, finished with a protective powder coating, and equipped with corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel hardware. Its universal design makes it adaptable to a wide range of marine seats and vessels, including fishing boats, coastal cruisers, ski and wake boats, guide boats, crew boats, yacht tenders, and other recreational or commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I install my existing boat seat on top of the Shockwave S5-AL base?

A: Yes! The S5-AL features a universal top mounting pattern designed to fit standard marine seat slider tracks, swivels, and captain's chairs.

Q: How do I adjust the suspension stiffness for different passenger weights?

A: Air pressure inside the FOX Rhythm shock can be adjusted using a standard high-pressure shock pump (similar to mountain bike suspension pumps) to match the occupant's weight and comfort preferences.

Q: Is the Shockwave S5-AL rated for saltwater use?

A: Absolutely. The unit is constructed from A360 anodized cast aluminum, protected by a tough powder coat finish, and uses 316 stainless steel hardware specifically engineered to resist marine corrosion and salt spray.
