Bill of Seattle...There is a place to put the seat
for the helm. If you look closely there are 2 notches in the bottom of that fiberglass seat. Those 2 notches hook perfectly over the lifelines (at least it does on my C36) and will rest there perfectly. If you really want to ensure that it stays put, then wrap a bungee cord around it hooking to the life lines. But one thing I really like about the walkthrough transom ladder is that it is so wide and goes way down into the water. That makes it very easy for anyone, even the smallest child, to get into and out of the water. Chic L. thats funny what you said about the C350 and loving the C36. Thats why Catalina is making both, because there are people out there that just want their boats set up different. I must admit to being jealous of the small refinements on the newer designed C350
