Default Re: Center console layout

Hey John, I dont know if you remembered mine when I redid it last spring but I can give a couple of suggestions if you want them. The blue seas switches work great, I love them. My seperate blue seas fuse holders for my electronics suck, dont use them,you cant get the cap off and end up destroying the holder. (I have destoyed several) I am replacing them with the standard type fuse holders.If you use starboard make sure it is at least 3/8" thick I think I got 3/16 and it is a little flimsey. anyways I know you didnt ask about all that but here is one of those pix of my redone console.(Need some electronic upgrades too.)

John...As Capt Chuck states Opinions my vary ....

I personally would put the compass on top of the console .... and for me the radio up in the box ....I think you have a radio box on that top ?? Plotter and FF in the dash

Here’s a "clean canvas" for you to create on.... Have fun !!



Craig ... I love the classic Morse throttle

Needs to be some cup holders on these consels.. drives me nuts not having a place to put my coffee as I'm crusing out in the morning. Later in the afternoon the cup holder works great as a beer holder. Maybe put the compass top center on the consel and put a couple of those flush mount cup holders were the compass was.

some suggestions: Use Black Starboard for upper section of console, remove guages from in front of wheel to the section below the stering wheel so when you look through the wheel you will see them. chart plotter/sounder in front of wheel so you can see / adjust . compass up top so you can take a bearing on other boats when they leave for the other "location". radio and Cell phone mounted to the left side recessed into the dash so clear cover can keep out the weather when necessary. other radio, and smaller gps/sounder up top in electronics box.
