Thread starter Pviroot6 Start date Feb 8, Pviroot6 Recruit.
Joined Feb 8, Messages 1. My boat is the typical, basic 16 ft, wide aluminum boat - has 4 bench seats - on the back three seats I have boat seats attached to these. I have in the past sat in the very back and steered the boat and controled the motor, speed, etc. My preference would be to make some type of console, attach a steering wheel to this, and then connect the necessary equipment which would then connect back to the motor 25 hp Johnson - push button elec. Then attach this to the side and bottom of the boat?
How far up in the boat should I mount the console? What side makes the most sense? I've noticed there are quite a large number to choose from. There's an established been there forever Has anyone ever had this type of work done on their boat and if so what should I anticipate in paying if this shop does this work? My guess would be a couple hundred dollars in equip. Thanks for the feedback! Joined Jul 14, Messages 1, Re: Is it possible to install steering console on 16 ft aluminum Lowe?
Yes it is possible to build a console. I have seen a few boats with home built consoles. Facing the back of the boat you would want to mount it on the right side toward the middle of the boat, or you could always make it a center console. What size motor do you have? There are conversion kits to make a tiller steer into a console steer. You could use wood to build the structure and cover it with fiberglass or make a mold and make the console possibly out of straight fiberglass where you wouldn't half to worry about rot.

There is one on my ancient Lund. It just attaches to the side of the boat with a few bolts and would fit just about any aluminum boat. Texasmark Supreme Mariner.

I have had two boats with them, an Alumacraft and a Mirrorcraft. Both mounted to the rt side gunnel and a vertical brace to a floor stringer rib near the center line of the boat.
Both worked great. On a bracket for your controls, you could fabricate a piece of aluminum. For where to get aluminum stock, try a metal recycler May be surprised what you'll find and it probably would be fun Otherwise anyone who manufactures with alum sheet is a good candidate.
They usually have gondola's sitting around full of it for shipment to the recycler. For attachment, take all your parts to a welder who is experienced in welding alum. A weld, if done by a person competent in the process, will last as long as the boat even in the environment which a boat is subjected to. Then, if you are picky, get some touch up paint and touch up any burned off areas that may have been caused by the heat of the welding.
I didn't have a problem with that. I also had them weld in some brackets up front for the attachment of a small plywood deck so that I would have a flat floor under my feet for when I was operating my trolling motor from it's "bracket".
Tasha's daddy, man, you are a serious fisherman. Whichever, you apparently believe in getting after it. Joined Apr 26, Messages 19, I'm pretty much against adding a console. While it does help with weight distribution and it can provide some storage. It also takes up space,adds weight,complication,expense and maintenance. If I was going to do it it would be stick steering. I would try to rig the stick between my legs ,as a wheel might be,and put the controls on the right.
I once added a wheel rope steering to a boat like yours by simply bolting a piece of plywood flat on the seat ahead then rotating the wheel mount so it angled toward my seat. Controls on the right as usual. Loosely looked like a small whaler setup. Kept the wheel low and took only a few hours. Used a 40 Johnson. Willyclay Captain. Joined Sep 8, Messages 3, Once I selected a standing position to operate the boat, the only issue of any significance was how to route the steering cable, throttle cable and wiring harness.
My console incorporated two seats but yours may be much simpler since you probably want to retain all the existing seating for structural purposes. Good luck! Joined Nov 7, Messages 1, Here's some pictures of my 14' Lowe Jonboat. The console was built by the previous owner, but it's just a fiberglassed plywood Center Console Kits For Aluminum Boats Network box.
I usually run the boat with my right knee on the seat, or standing next to the console to keep my weight centered. It's a fun boat as long as the water is calm. Since the pictures were taken I've added a windshield and bow-mounted trolling motor. When it warms up I'll add navigation lights and a second battery.
