I have a new console for a 89 montauk and used the shelf out of a parts console I got, but just yesterday the shelf split while enjoying my holiday. I am just wondering, before I head to the marina tomorrow and tear everything apart, if anyone had the diminsions and thickness size for the shelf?

Guts, yeah what i'm talking about is the bottom of what's pictured there. I can't speak for the original poster but if you have any info i'd appreciate it. I do hope the original poster is talking about that as well. Thanks in advance!

I would think a better term for this part would be "Console Floor"...
I wasn't sure what the original poster was talking about when they mentioned a shelf. I thought it was a add on piece that wasn't original.

I made mine out of 3/4" plywood. It is split in the middle so it could fit tight to the edges. I then put 3 coats of varnish on it, installed it and caulked it in to avoid water damage in the future. Carpet on top and it is solid enough to hold just about anything. The key I think is to let the batteries go through to the deck if yours are in there. Then mount the straps to the console floor. Works well and it should never have a problem. I have a couple pics on my project page that show it before I re-gelcoated the console and after as well. It is almost rigged now. Let me know if you are interested at all as I can go out and take some more pics.

I wasn't sure either Joe just a lucky guess. Ok what ever you call it, mine is made out of two pieces if ABS plastic. Some will say star-board (sp) is what they use. I found ABS very easy to get at any plastic dealer and the guy sold it to me bird like. Got a small can of ABS glue and pored it in the back side of one piece then set the other side on top of the glued side. making it ¼+¼=½ thick. Then cut and trimmed with a router to what shape I wanted it. The ABS comes in different colors and it has a texture to one side of it, hence a good side and a bad side, as I recall it comes in different thickness, when I bought mine all he had at the time was ¼ inch in black that's why I lamented it. You could use wood to make this deck/shelf/floor and cover it with just about any thing. Hope this is what you are asking...

That floor is exactly what i am talking about, do you have a measurement or the floor that you iinstalled. I had the batteries on the top and did not cut out for it, and that is probably what caused the console to break.

For those who care about insignificant details, the poster is correct in calling the part a shelf, it is a "Console Shelf" according to the Boston Whaler parts list.

Eng1inelt, the "Console shelf" is 24.5" deep x 31.5" wide. It does not have strait edges so it is kind of a custom fit. If you split it in the middle you can make it fit as tight as you want. By using starboard or ABS like Guts did or heavy wood like I did splitting it is not a problem. The key I think is the batts to the deck. My console is still empty and on the ground but the shelf is now carpeted. Let me know if you would like pics as I can take some inside and out or upside down, with or without batteries installed. Just let me know.

Blackduck,
I can assure you that we care about what you call insignificant details here, in the way of names and part numbers.
We take the correct names seriously. Nothing about a name or detail is insignificant to us as we do care about the smallest details.
If someone calls a Boston Whaler part a thingamabob no one else will most likely know what they are talking about.
If you think they are insignificant, that's up to you... However, many of the rest of us here do pay particular attention to details down to the correct screws, bolts and nuts and don't think anything is insignificant.
eng1inelt,
I'm glad you brought this up. I always thought it was the console floor.
I looked this part up in the Parts manual as Blackduck mentioned and it is called the "Shelf, Console"...
I never thought it was a separate part either, I thought it was part of the entire console.
So, for the record, here is the detailed information from one of the parts catalogs:
part# 62141200
description - Shelf, Console
Now we all know the correct name for this particular part.

Joe,
Then I think you should be more careful about being critical of what people call different parts. It's obvious that you didn't know the correct term for the part the guy was looking for help with. I see no reason to make people feel uncomfortable when asking a simple question. All of us can learn something new here everyday, I just don't think we needs to be so "uptight". I only tried to make a point. Sorry you missed my sarcasm, I didn't mean to be disrespectful of your attitudes.
Walter

Blackduck, (Walter)
I reread my initial post.
I see no critical part in it that should make anyone uncomfortable.
For the record, I still think console floor is a better name for that part however, that would be wrong as we now all know.
------
Shelf
Noun
shelf (plural shelves)
A flat, rigid, rectangular structure, fixed at right angles to a wall, and used to support, store or display objects.
The capacity of such an object; as, a shelf of videos.
A projecting ledge that resembles such an object.

Now now. Console floor, console shelf, console bottom, console base, console deck, thingymabob, doohicky, whichacallit, part#62141200. Whatever you call it. It is easily made out of a multitude of materials for next to nothing exept a little time. Oh, and by the way I missed the sarcasm as well. My bad. Don't mess with the site master he has way to much time invested to be questioned.
