2006 170 MONTAUK Raise Console; Replace Console
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2024 4:17 pm
Q1: what ways can be used to raise the height of the steering wheel and the engine remote shift and throttle controls on the center console of 2006 MONTAUK 17?
My research has found mixed [opinions]:
BACK STORY
My height is 6-feet 2-inches, and I have to slouch against the pilot seat back (while the seat is pushed forward) in order to have comfort at the helm.

My research has found mixed [opinions]:
- raise the steering wheel and engine contros;
- raise the entire console;
- discard the existing console, buy a different console, and completely re-rig, perhaps by buying a center console from Boston Whaler as used in the post-2008 170 MONTAUK boats.
