Abstract: This invention provides an inexpensive and easily manufactured console system for small boats. The system permits electronic instruments to be attractively carried and displayed in the boat in such a manner that the instruments can be continuously monitored, easily operated, protected from damage from water and movement due to high seas, and conveniently removed from the console and easily and safely transported from the boat for safekeeping when the boat is left unattended. The system includes equipment carrier modules within which electronic instruments are fastened and carried and a module-receiving liner for supporting the modules and the equipment in the boat. The system is adapted so that a single releasable fastener may secure each module within the liner, permitting the modules and the equipment to be easily removved from the boat as a unit. The modules are designed so that two modules with equipment can be easily transported with one hand.
