Building Enclosed Helm on OUTRAGE 22

Here's the link to a montage of photographs at

that show how I built a custom helm enclosure for my 1988 Boston Whaler OUTRAGE 22 powered by a 2004 Suzuki DF200 with a 2015 9.9 Yamaha high thrust kicker.

Living in Hawaii, we get normal trade winds averaging about 20-knots and 4 to 6-foot seas. Converting from center console to putting on an enclosed helm was the best improvement made so far. Keeping the family warm and dry means longer fishing trips.
