I'm looking at adding a small side console for grab bar, switches and cup holder. I've seen a few on here, but curious as to other options. Ordered my switches for to make a switch panel, all are carling waterproof rocker switches with custom faces to distinguish them. Want to make the grab bar removable. 4 bolts and it comes off or possibly a quick pin to remove it. Also will add a cup holder. On the cup holder, do you guys have holes in the bottom to let the water drain, and if so, do you have switches in it like I want to add. Curious as to the electrical with the water and corrosion. Here is a drawing of what I'm possibly looking at.

We use the cup holder for access and put a drain hose on the bottom. Our new grab bar we went to a bolt instead of a pin with three different positions.

man, why does that boat look so familiar corey? lol

Yeah I thought about putting a drain on the bottom so the cup holder won't fill up with rain water.

Make it different. They all look the same. Make it have radius corners or something. If I ever build one I'm going to try to think of something to do a little different.

My grab bar console is built the same way and will be set up pretty close except my switch panel will be closest to me and has a 12v socket on the panel itself and the cup holder is a plastic insert

I want to build one that I can put a GPS in the inside of it keep from limbs and stuff trying to rip it off.

Decided to just keep it simple. Switches won't be here till sat, so figured I'd get started.

Lookin' good man!

Yes but I will mount it coming off the side instead of off the top.

Actually off the front vertical part.
