OK, it's time. There have been a number of generations of hardware added to, and removed from, the console ("dashboard") of my upper helm. It's a mess. Holes everywhere, from large openings for old radar cables to screw holes from numerous mounting brackets and even some spiderweb cracking.
I've got a couple more things to remove, and maybe upgrade the chartplotters to something bigger some day. I wish I could just start over, but when I remove everything I'll be left with a very heavily damaged surface.
I'm open to suggestions. It's the flat surface on top I'm looking at, the vertical front of the console is OK. Some sort of material to cover or resurface the decking? Pods? It would be nice to center the chartplotters and move the engine instruments off...somewhere. Maybe work in some holders for cell phones, pencils, notepads, etc.
I don't want to re-route throttle and shift cables, and I like where they are anyway. I don't want to permanently remove the grab bar. Everything else is fair game.
