Abstract: A display mount console for a vessel includes a mounting box configured to be secured adjacent to seating of the vessel, and a display compartment moveably secured to the mounting box. The display compartment is configured to hold an electronic display and is configured to move between a deployed position and a stowed position, where the display compartment is extended outwards from the mounting box in the deployed position, and the display compartment is retracted towards the mounting box when in the stowed position to reduce blocking a pathway in front of the seating. The display mount console may also include a base cabinet configured to be positioned between the seating, where the mounting box is mounted to a top of the base cabinet.

Abstract: Reconfigurable bench seating for a vessel includes a seatbase plate for a bench seat having a top surface and a lower surface, a swivel assembly secured to the lower surface of the seatbase plate, and a backrest for the bench seat having a first side and an opposing second side. The bench seating also includes a backrest folding assembly configured to fold the backrest between a mostly vertical orientation to a mostly horizontal orientation. The swivel assembly includes a swivel motor having a shaft, and an adapter coupled to the shaft, where the adapter is configured to be rotate in a first direction and an opposing second direction by the swivel motor. The backrest folding assembly comprises a linear actuator and a lever arm, where the lever arm is configured to be rotated in a first direction and an opposing second direction by the linear actuator.
