A dashboard that fits what you have on board

A dashboard panel brings plotters, engine displays, gauges, switches and controls together in one surface. We draw it around the exact equipment you use, so every opening fits the instrument that goes into it and nothing has to be sawn or filed on board.

For refits we take the outline of your existing dashboard as the starting point. For new builds we work from the yard's drawings, and the design is stored so every hull in the series receives the same panel.

From our workshop straight on board

Every dashboard is fully built in our workshop: cut-outs for displays and instruments, push buttons and circuit breakers fitted, wired by electrical engineering specialists and tested under power.

On board, the finished dashboard only needs to be dropped in and connected using the wiring diagram. That saves hours at the helm, and the result looks factory-fitted.

Refit and new build

Refit. Replacing an outdated or damaged dashboard is one of the most visible upgrades you can make. New instruments rarely fit the old holes; a new panel solves that cleanly and gives the helm a finished look. More about dashboard refits

New build. For boat builders we supply dashboards per model, with the design fixed after approval. Every repeat order is identical, which saves assembly time at the yard.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get the exact shape of my dashboard?

A template traced on cardboard, a photo with measurements or the original drawing all work. We confirm the outline in the digital design before production.

Which instruments can you fit?

Any. Send us the brand and model numbers and we use the manufacturer's cut-out dimensions.

Can you supply only the panel?

Yes. You can order the dashboard as a bare engraved panel, or fitted and wired with switches and breakers.

Planning a refit or a new model?

Send us your equipment list and a photo or drawing of the dashboard.
