Yeah, I'd feel right at home at that helm Al. The helms not that bad either...
Sorry for the mess:

The wheel is missing ... I guess you do not need one with all these electronics, autopilots, etc ...
I've noticed on several boats, especially Grand Banks, there's a brass or metal tube that runs from the middle of the lower helm up to the overhead. What is that?? is that just a cable run to the flybridge? Seems like it would be in the way, and kinda annoying.
Don't need wheels. He probably has jog lever steering. Much easier than spinning helms even with power assist.

I directed the location of devices on the upper half of the panel.
I like my Garmin better too.
That's my "fishfinder." Don't fish, but a large display showing the depths of the often shallow waters here is very helpful. (Recommended by my China-based builder who used to sail here.)
I could use that! I'll trade you for a digital depth meter. Non-confusing, digital display with good contrast day and night.
Special deal....only for you, GI.
I love looking at all the different Helm Layouts! We are looking at modifying ours to have a black helm face. Any suggestions on material to use or materials or surface texture to "Stay Away" from??
