A boat console is a lectern-like structure holding the steering wheel of a motor vessel. On NauticExpo, such consoles are intended for recreational craft.
When retrofitted on rigid inflatables and center-console boats, these structures offer the driver protection and a good hand hold, facilitating steering.
Most consoles are made of molded, laminated polyester fiberglass. There is a hole for the steering wheel bearings and shaft, which is linked to chain, cables or hydraulic hoses connected to vessel's directional system. Many have an instrument panel for GPS, radio, VHF, speed log, tachometer and other electronics.
There is often a tinted Plexiglas windshield and a grab rail for safety at high speed and during brusque maneuvers. Some consoles are mounted in the bottom of the hull along the centerline, while others are placed along the side.
Choice will depend on vessel make and model, dimensions, motor and steering system type.
