Binnacle/Electronics Refresh

Has anyone found a solution for a replacement binnacle pod?

Specifically, I would like to flush mount a 9-12” MFD, plus the 2-4 additional boxes for chain counter, bow thruster, wind, etc.

Wow, stumped the hive mind huh…

Seems like.  Having said that, if you ever find a solution please post.  At some point in the future, we're looking to do the same thing.

Jeanneau used to sell a replacement pod, for about $400, to acommodate the newer chartplotters that are too deep to fit into the original pod. Ours is mounted on a swing-out arm that is attached to the engine control. You can see it fine from the helm, and someone sitting on the stbd side can swing it over to take a look. With the plotter on a separate arm, there is plenty of room for the wind, depth, autopilot, anchor windlass, and bow thruster controls.

You can just make out the chartplotter in the photo to the left. The cat liked that location because it was easier for him to see while sitting in my lap. Following are photos of my helm and instruments:

I made an extension in fibreglass and Divinycell above for two (option for one more in the middle) B&G triton
My MFD is a B&G 9" Zeus3
To the left of the Compass I will insert the control for the bow thruster.
