The Importance of Console Doors

Console doors for boats go mostly unnoticed until they begin to fail. They protect the contents of your console while also allowing you to access the storage and rigging inside, as well as the head and sink found inside the consoles on many larger boats. Whether it is the hardware, latches, or the door itself, console doors can eventually deteriorate. When they do, they can be difficult to open, allow moisture into your console or become completely unusable.


Console Door Boat Parts: Frames, Hinges, Panels, Latches

Console door assemblies are made up of four different parts. The first part, and the part that holds everything together, is the door frame. This piece of the door attaches to the console. Frames are typically made of aluminum or Starboard. Read More

Since Boat Outfitters' parent company (Teak Isle) supplies access doors for many boat builders, they have designs for doors that may not even be on the website.


Custom Console Door Design Considerations

If Boat Outfitters doesn’t have a design file for your console doors or boat hatches, a custom console door may be the answer. For simple shapes, you can simply specify your height and width. For more complex or irregular shapes, you may need to send a tracing or template of your original door or even the door itself so that designers can duplicate it.


Starboard vs Acrylic Console Doors

After that, choose whether you want Starboard or acrylic as your door material. Starboard has a lightly textured finish and does not offer the high gloss shine that acrylic can; however, Starboard is more durable and UV-resistant. Starboard also has more flex than acrylic, so if your design calls for widely spaced hinges, acrylic may be the better choice. Read More

The next item to choose is your color. Starboard is offered in a variety of whites, off-whites, gray, tan, and black. Acrylic is offered in white, Arctic white, and seafoam. Boat Outfitters has a customer-accessible database of the Starboard colors used by various boat builders, or you can order a sample chain of all the Starboard colors to make sure you select the right one.


Console Door Hinges

Hinges are the next item to pick from. On Starboard, you can choose from a normal piano hinge or a friction piano hinge. Friction hinges will stay open unless closed. This can stop any unwanted slamming and can allow you to work in the console without the door closing on you. Read More
