Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Help with ideas for center console on a 13

Posted by RED SOX WHALER on 08/27/09 - 6:07 PM

My 13 has a side console and i want to do a center console. I would hate to do away with my side console cause its in great shape but id like to convert it into a center console. Any help would be great. Can i use the existing console and make it into a center console or would i need to get a whole new console to a center console?

Are you looking to just move it over or make a completely new one?

Have you figured out how you are going to run your cables to your center console?

Check out my project album for an idea.

I have enough cable to run a center console for steering but im assuming since my throttle is on the side i would have to get new throttle controls to do a center console yes? I would like to do a setup where i do a cooler style seat so i can utilize as much space for fishing as i can.

How do ou plan to cover all the wires and cables that will be laying on the floor?

I don't have any cables on the floor, they are behind the seat clamps. Leave the front thwart in and you can run 'em under there then into the front of the console. I think you can do it without making a big deal out of it.
