Helm Pads, Accents, and Small Pieces

Not every boat needs a full deck system. Helm pads, step pads, swim-platform inserts, and CNC-routed fish rulers are an easy upgrade and a good way to see our work before committing to a full install.

What goes into a helm pads and accents job

  • Helm and leaning-post pads
  • Step pads for transom, console, and bow
  • Swim-platform corner inserts
  • CNC-routed fish rulers at 12, 18, or 30 inches
  • Gunwale rod-holder pads

Helm pads are the most common accent we sell. A 24 by 18 inch anti-fatigue insert at the captain's chair makes a four-hour run feel like one. We cut the contour to your console and route the boat name into the leading edge.

Fish rulers at 12, 18, or 30 inches get routed into a pad that sticks to the gunwale. Step pads, swim-platform corner inserts, and rod-holder mat cutouts are cut the same way.
