6. Custom Panels
Sometimes it is necessary to produce a custom panel for a particular vessel. We have produced custom panels in engraved plastic (Trafolite), stainless steel, aluminium, brass and even bronze.
< This is a panel for a bow thruster on a barge.
< This is a panel for a tug that had only had a limited space
available for all the switches.
< This dash panel had to look like the original dash on this
classic boat, but was in fact a control panel for a sophisticated diesel electric propulsion system. We also designed and produced the main breaker panel to fit in a
limited space. For more on this project see Diesel Electric
Propulsion system.
< The owner of this motor yacht asked us to replace this
tired old panel with something better.
< This is the replacement panel.
< This panel was produced for a re-fit of a classic motor
cruiser.
< This owner required some additional switches on his
existing
panel.
We managed to source the original switches and fit them in such a way as they look like they are part of the original panel.
< These are replacement bridge wing control panels on a 56m
Super Yacht.
< We even produce panels in wood. This panel was produced
out of teak by a boat builder from drawings supplied by us.
We then installed and connected the instruments.
