Anyone have an issue with the plastic bushing swelling making it impossible to insert seat or if seat is already inserted making it difficult to remove and preventing swivel?

I have had this happen a couple of times. Had to remove base plate and drill out bushing with a wood bit.

Any suggestions on prevention or other recommendations?

I bought a boat used. Both the front and back were swollen stuck. Got them out eventually and replaced them. No problems since.
