Nothing gets the juices flowing like a good discussion about a helm station. I know I am going to come off a little "manly" here but unless you have been involved in a discussion about controls, gages and navigational electronics with a bunch of guys, you may not understand this post. It's fantasy land for the control freak in the family. I have noticed lately that my wife wants to hold the remote for the TV/DVR etc so perhaps the days of male dominance when it comes to things like this are over (?)
In my family anyway, I get the choose the electronics but that is more and more a shared undertaking with many boating couples. I know Graham and Erica made this decision together. I guess my point in this post is to show you how much space we have provided for you to fill. That's like getting a really big stocking at Christmas !
Here's an image of the dash. Of note are the beautifully crafted cherry components and the Ultraleather cover over the front of the instrument panel. Aft on the wedge are the SmartCraft displays for the Cummins-Zeus engines. Brilliant bits of kit (as the Brits would say). On center the Zeus tilt helm pump and to port of the wooden wheel (not seen) the Mototron Joy Stick and trim tab control panel. To starboard of the helm out of sight here are the Skyhook/autopilot control pad and the engine control levers.
Best of all and left for you little boys and girls to fill with as many toys as Santa brings, is the navigational electronics panel. Oh what fun it will be !
