Side Console Boat Switch Panel Sounder Mount Alloy Bracket Fish Finder Mount Oxidation Aluminium

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this side console fit my Australian boat?

The Oxidation Side Console is designed with universal mounting in mind, making it suitable for most recreational boats used in Australia. With overall dimensions of 300mm length, 201mm width, and 153mm height, it's a compact bracket that fits neatly into most side console spaces. The 25mm mounting edge allows flexible installation using bolts, pop rivets, or welding at various points on your boat. If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific vessel, we recommend measuring your current space or contacting us before purchasing.

What's the difference between this aluminium console and cheaper plastic alternatives?

This side console is manufactured from high-quality oxidation aluminium with professional laser-cut and TIG-welded construction, making it significantly more durable than plastic alternatives. Aluminium is inherently corrosion-resistant and can withstand Australia's harsh marine conditions—saltwater, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures—without degrading. The oxidation process further enhances corrosion resistance. You're investing in a product that will last years longer than plastic, maintain its structural integrity, and provide a professional appearance for your boat's interior setup.

Can I mount both a fish finder and a sounder on this console?

Yes, this side console is designed as a versatile mounting bracket for multiple marine accessories. You can mount fish finders, sounders, switch panels, and other equipment depending on your specific needs and the layout of your boat. The open bottom and side design provide excellent access for running wires to your sounder, switch panels, and other electronics. We recommend planning your layout before installation to ensure all your equipment fits comfortably within the bracket's 300mm x 201mm footprint.

How easy is it to install, and what tools will I need?

Installation is straightforward thanks to the 25mm mounting edge, which gives you flexibility in how you secure it to your boat. You can use bolts, pop rivets, or welding—choose the method that suits your boat's construction and your skill level. Most DIY boat owners can complete installation with basic tools (drill, riveter, or spanner depending on your fastening method). The console's user-friendly design means you won't need specialist marine knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, Yarra Supply's team can provide guidance.

What's the warranty and returns policy if it doesn't suit my boat?

Yarra Supply offers a hassle-free 30-day returns policy, so if the Oxidation Side Console doesn't work for your setup, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. We also offer Australia-wide free shipping, so there's no extra cost getting it to you. Once you've received your console, you'll have plenty of time to check the fit and dimensions against your boat before committing to installation. If you have any concerns before purchasing, feel free to reach out to our team for advice.

Is this console suitable for saltwater fishing boats?

Absolutely. The oxidation aluminium construction specifically makes this console ideal for saltwater environments. Saltwater is highly corrosive to most metals, but aluminium naturally resists corrosion, and the oxidation process adds an extra protective layer. Whether you're using it on a boat in Port Phillip, the Great Barrier Reef, or anywhere along Australia's coast, this console will resist rust and maintain its structural integrity far better than steel or untreated materials. It's built specifically for the demanding marine conditions Australian boaties face.

What comes in the box, and are there any additional parts I need to buy?

Your purchase includes 1x Side Console in oxidation aluminium. The console itself is ready to use, but you'll need to source your own mounting hardware depending on your preferred installation method—either bolts, pop rivets, or welding supplies if you're welding it in place. You'll also need to plan for your specific accessories (fish finder, sounder, switch panel) that you intend to mount. The console provides the bracket; the rest depends on your setup requirements.
