  • Patent number: 8695749
    Abstract: A command chair for a water craft includes a seat with at least one arm defining an enclosure with an opening facing away from the seat. An instrument pod has an instrument display side. Guide tracks in the enclosure support the instrument pod for movement between a stored position and a deployed position. In the stored position, the pod is within the enclosed housing with the instrument display side facing away from the enclosure opening and an opposite face of the pod substantially covering the opening. In the deployed position, the pod extends out from the enclosure with the instrument display side substantially horizontal and facing upwardly to display the instruments on top of the pod. A drive, which includes a drive motor inside the pod, is adapted to move the pod along the guide tracks between the stored and deployed positions.
