Carver 3607 helm console
Built a new helm console for my 3607, it holds my vhf radio and a big cup holder. Built it out of wood, fiberglassed it and painted it a slate charcoal metallic. It will mount with no fasteners shown and bolts from underneath.The color pops nice in the sun. I plan on doing most all the countertops at the helm area this color to match. Decided change out the teak flip up one because it hit the throttles every time I had to open it for my vhf and it was old. Here are some pics.

Re: Carver 3607 helm console
Very nice. When you say you fiberglassed it, did you lay glass mat or just coat it with a resin/hardener mix?

I used chop strain mat on both sides and muded it up. My original plan was to just resin a peice of wood prime it and sand it, but it needed more strength.

Re: Carver 3607 helm console
Took me a few minutes to figure out what you did, because that wouldn't have fit on my 3607.
But now I see....the new one extends farther forward than my current teak hatch that sits there. Mine has a hinge and doesn't go under the throttles so there is no way they could hit.
I like the look on what you did!! Very nice!
