Helm Storage Ideas

[GoodCubanito]

Anybody out there has pictures and/or ideas on how to add storage in the helm area? Stuff like cell phones, air horn, docs, my 9mm handgun (why not? ), etc... so I don't have to worry about then getting wet or getting all over the boat!

Thanks in advance.

I use a trunk organizer thing but a lot of people do seem to use boxes like @Babin Farms suggested.

I bought different sizes of these. I put them on the inside of the doors, and flip up cushions. They are awesome.

We've put them in the head compartment to hold sunspray, rags, keys and other misc. stuff. They hold good to the OE carpet that Yami put on the walls

They stick well to hard materials? Reviews on Amazon look somewhat mixed.

Yes...I put them on the insides of all the flip up seats and doors. Adds a lot of storage for personal belongings

That's what I bought for all my small tools, batteries, flashlight, safety things. Works great, no moisture gets in to rust anything.

Very strong adhesive and Velcro. So far so good. I put a small one next to the captains chair to keep registration and ID ready for the booze police...?

Also bought one of these. Great for cleaning products and tools.

Does stuff fall out of that thing easily?
You just stuck it to the top of the compartment?

That's why I like the nets. Secure and no flying objects

Never its mounted on the lower part of the helm in front of your knees. So its angled down i throw my wallet, truck keys, my handheld vhf, etc...
Its plenty out of the way so you dont wack your knees on it

Here's what I did. I still have to come up with something for the helm cabinets. I use the one next to the Captain's chair to stow my mirror sock. On the port side locker door, I use it to store all my docs. I have these under all my seats for personal belongings.

RobbieO: where did you get those from? They look great!

I got one of these and added a rectangular box made from cutting board to stiffen the opening, used to store cellphone, wallet, truck keys, and the handheld VHF clipped to the outside. It's a expensive idea, but at the end of the day it is removeable. On the our SX210 we mount it under the "glovebox" on the port side but it could go just about anywhere it is smooth and no curve.
