Take a sharp 3/4 inch bit run it through the bushing. It should fit better. A little grease or silicone might help also.

My 88 model caracal had bad seat wobble. Where the pole went through the floor had basically wollered the hole bigger than the pole that went thru the floor. My fix was custom machining a bushing with a determined size at the top of the bushing to accommodate the “wollered” out fiberglass. . Was solid as a rock when i sold the boat 10 yrs after the repair. The hardened bronze bushing i made never showed any wear in the .750″ internal hole. Not sure how the 06 models are set up on the back deck.
