Here’s another tip that I have had on the last three boats. Everyone has a place on the dash or close by to store their phone, cam, remotes and things you need to get to quickly. But sometimes they become lost among the others things that you also need quickly! My mini storage area in my elec box becomes like my wife’s purse, I can never find the exact thing I’m looking for when I need it. Here’s a nice solution. The stuff is made by 3M and it’s called DUAL LOCK. It is not Heavy duty Velcro, it’s hard stubble that locks into place when another piece is pressed on top of it. It is unbelievably strong with a strong adhesive used. It can hold speakers in place, my VHF is stuck to the top of my electronics box and certainly everything you might need on the dash. It looks like this:

It comes in black and clear. I have two clear pieces on my dash that if I did not point it out you would not see them, thus giving you a clean look and not a dash littered with stuff or “add ons”.. They are on each corner and usually hold my digital cam and lift remote or cell phone:
As said the stuff is strong…stuff does not come loose once stuck. Here’s a set of speakers I used to have and some fans that cool my amp:
You can get it at West marine but I like a Touring bike website that sells it cheaper and in larger quantities. Get it here:
