Small Oval Console – 35×30×65 cm, with Hatch (Fiberglass)

This small oval console is designed to provide basic steering functionality without taking up virtually any space. At just 65 cm high, the console is low-profile and fits nicely into tight quarters – for example, small inflatables, 2–4 meter fishing boats, or as a side console on larger vessels (for auxiliary control). The oval front edge prevents snagging of lines or clothing, contributing to safer movement on board. Despite its modest size, the console is made of the same high-quality fiberglass as the larger models, giving it strength and resistance to the elements. On the top, there is an access opening with a lid – through this, you can reach the interior to install a helm mechanism, steering cables, and even a small switch panel or indicator lights (e.g. ignition switch, warning lamp). This makes it easier to convert a simple tiller-steered boat into one with wheel steering. The console does not include a wheel, allowing the user to choose a compatible steering kit to their preference. With this mini console, even small boats can be piloted like larger craft – it provides more precise control and a more comfortable driver posture. Installation is flexible – the console can be mounted centrally or offset to one side, depending on the boat’s layout. Overall, this mini console is the perfect choice for anyone looking to add a helm system to their small boat, enhancing convenience and safety.

Use Cases & Recommendations:

• Small inflatables & foldable boats: If you own a small RIB or folding boat, this console enables you to add a wheel and remote throttle, turning it into a mini runabout. Recommended for boats up to ~3–4 m, where onboard space is at a premium.
• Dinghies and yacht tenders: For small dinghies/tenders used as shuttle boats, the console provides better control when ferrying people and gear to and from shore. Its low height keeps the center of gravity low, which is important for stability in a tiny boat.
• Side console mounting: This console can also be mounted to the side of a boat (port or starboard) if a central position is not feasible. This is common in narrow boats – a side mount leaves more walkthrough space on deck.
• Old boat upgrade: If you have an old rowboat or small motorboat that you want to improve, adding this console allows you to mount navigation lights, pump switches, horn button, etc., in addition to the wheel. This significantly boosts the functionality and value of the vessel.
• Easy removal: Due to its small size, the console can be relatively easily removed when the boat needs to be stored or transported – especially important for sectional boats and RIBs that get disassembled.
