Jack i am in a wheel chair and fish off my own boat Bliss II on a seat and straped in when its a little rough. Stainless steve makes these plates that fit under your real.it has two holes in it so you can fit your harness to it, so it doesn't matter if you real hasn't got any harrness eyes, you just fit one of these plates.
I would show you a picture of my real with one fitted but i have just sent it away. Another helpful tool i use when wrecking is a shimano electric real it doesn't do all the work it just help's alot.
