Instrument pods for Wheel binnacle

[PIGLETSDREAM]

New boat with wheel and would like to fit an instrument pod. To date have not been able to find any. Can anyone help point me in the right direction please.

It depends what you want but West Marine USA list some expensive ones but big enough for radar/plotters etc. If it is just for normal instruments then I bought one in GRP from Greenham Marine in Lymington which holds 4 Raymarine instrument heads and clamps onto the pedestal guard, I think they did a 6 instrument version as well. Ours just carries the autopilot heads (main ST6001 plus AH4000 spare) plus a Multi and a Navdata repeater because our main instruments are in a console over the mainhatch where they can be read from anywhere in the cockpit not just at the wheel and I still prefer this location.

If you are looking to put a chartplotter on the binnacle then NavPod make some smart jobbies. We have one on our binnacle and very good it is to.

Thanks for the info, will check out the info given and maybe something will be tempting at SIBS. Chris, did you import your Navpod?

Dunno, it was fitted for me by Datayacht of Lymington. They're a nice lot, you might give them a ring.
