Abstract: A boat console may include a boat console body to be mounted within a boat defining a boat console panel having a mounting hole therein. The console may further include a marine electronics unit having a screen, and an electronics mounting platform including a base connected to a back side of the boat console panel and aligned with the mounting hole, an actuator connected to the base, a mounting plate having a first side connected to the actuator, and a second side opposite the first side, and at least one pivot mount connected to the second side of the mounting plate and to the marine electronics unit. The actuator may be configured to move the mounting plate between a stowed position and an extended position in which the marine electronics unit is pivotable to orient the screen at different viewing angles.

Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a marine electronics unit to a boat console panel may include a base to be connected to the boat console panel and aligned with a mounting hole in the boat console panel, an actuator connected to the base, a mounting plate connected to the actuator, and at least one pivot mount connected to the mounting plate to be connected to the marine electronics unit. The actuator may be configured to move the mounting plate between a first position where the marine electronics unit is flush with a front side of the boat console panel, and a second position in which the marine electronics unit is spaced apart from the front side of the boat console panel and pivotable using the at least one pivot mount.
