Re: Helm Electronics - Wedge for angling the display 30-45 degrees
There are many others but my guess here is it will be custom and pricey, good luck with the continued search. I do like that example you showed though it would be a touch better with the instruments angled down a bit for glare.

I drive by them every day on the way to work, but I don't have any direct experience with them.

Thanks, Bud37, I have reached out to them through their website. I guess I saw them bud did not see where they do exactly what I was after, so I kept searching. If they are able to do it, I will let everyone know.

Yep, I have seen them as well, thanks, Alanna Mo Cree, I have reached out to them through their website as well. It does seem all their work is with starboard. But, if they are able to do it, I will let everyone know.

I drive by them every day on the way to work, but I don't have any direct experience with them.
UPDATE: After some dialog with the people here (Very nice and accommodating by the way). Their designs are more of a flat and squared off screw together type of solution. Here are some pics in case anyone else may be interested. In the end, his last email stated the following (Excerpt only):
"the corners wouldn't be rounded unfortunately since the acrylic or starboard panels will be cut and then screwed together to form the angled box. I can add a 1/4" routed edge so the edges aren't sharp but unfortunately build it with that large of a radius is not currently feasible.

Follow up on CM Marine who stated" All of our products are made from molds. Unfortunately, we do not have a mold for your helm. I'm sorry we can't accommodate your request at this time. "
I am back to trying locals who do fiberglass repairs but, it is not looking good.

Modify the modification so to speak.

That is an interesting thought. I will let everyone know once I find a direction and a plan.

Re: Helm Electronics - Wedge for angling the display 30-45 degrees
I will go out this weekend and see if it achieves my goal of helping keep the sun off of the Garmin screen. If so, I will put some fiberglass on it and gel coat it. If I cannot find a person to do this, I will attempt that as well. So far, I have 70 dollars into it. More to come.
