I ended up redoing both helm stations as the Cummins instrument pods didnt fit well. I never liked the .ower helm which was too flat anyway. Also it weighted probably close to 250lbs and took another foot of space which makes a difference as i now have the galley up.
There is very little knuckle room around the wheel but so fsr it s not an issue. I steer at the top or for fast turns i put a finger in the spoke. I may switch to a smaller wheel if necessary. No electronics yet but i have room for a couple of medium MFDs and upstairs i ll build pods on the side.
Still have to finish the frame for the biilge pump panel and trim tabs as well as a black padded top
Botton panel is angled because i have a wire chase down there. Reason for the steps on each side of the wheel is that there is an air con duct on the ledt side going into what will be the 3rd stateroom

Re: New lower and upper helm design
What a great way to tuck lower helm wheel out of the way. Both stations look fantastic. Congratulations
