My boat is a bow rider. Eventually I'm going to re-do the bow seats (maybe this winter). When I do this, I'm thinking I might make a third piece that would "fill in the whole", so the entire bow would be padded. In case I want to take a nap out at sea 
So I was thinking about how I could mount the insert. I don't want anything permanent, just something you can place there and it will stay until you pick it back up. So what I was thinking was if I took something like a 3" diameter wooden dowel, cut it right down the middle, and attached each half circle to the bottom of the cushion.
THEN I'd need some kind of bracket for those dowels to seat into. Something like this:

Except something that looks nice and is chrome, since it's going to be exposed most of the time.
...if I could draw, I'd draw pictures of what I mean, and it would make a lot more sense I suspect.
Here's an old picture of the bow, so you can get an idea of what I'm thinking about:
