How many seats will fit at the helm, and how much space should be between them? Can the occupant see over the console? Will the driver’s knees hit the dash?
An Infoset is information that starts to answer some of these basic questions, and points the design of the helm and suspension seating system in the right direction.
The Infoset, at its most basic definition, is a technical drawing package that helps engineers, designers, or naval architects get a sense of the overall footprint of the seat, the recommended console configuration, and basic ergonomics of the seated occupant.
An infoset typically includes:
An Infoset isn’t a substitute for a detailed engineering drawing of your specific boat project or seating arrangement, but it’s a logical place to start for understanding general spatial constraints, sightlines, and ergonomics.
Marine suspension seating systems are often uniquely purpose-built for the application at hand. Once options and accessories are specified, one Shoxs seat model can have wide variations in appearance and functionality than the same model with different options selected. An Infoset typically will not include options or accessories, so be sure to contact Allsalt Maritime for your specific requirements.
After the initial task of defining the overall space and suspension seating requirements, the next steps are more detailed: determining the placement and spacing of the seat arrangement, and developing the console design that best suits the occupants and intended usage. The Allsalt technical team can then develop project-specific models or drawings to illustrate a more precise configuration.
