Headhunter Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I am looking for some ideas for cup holders to mount on the late model PF console. I really don't want to cut holes in it if I don't have to. Has anyone found a holder you can mount in the area of the helm station? The top of the console is pretty full with a compass, running light and mount for the top. The dash is pretty full with electronics. Thanks for everyone's input.

fin-addict Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 you can get a single or double holder made of starboard. can be mounted anywhere on the console including the sides with only 2 screws. they make one also that clips onto railings. have both kinds on my pathy. West Marine sells them or online. also google cup holders for boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAYBIRD Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I ordered mine thru Deepbluemarine.com and screwed it into the top of my console. I left enough room between the windshield and the holder to slide my phone which keeps it out of the way. If I remember correctly, I had them pre drill the holes before shipping. Great service and not costly. I love mine. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I agree with Jaybird.....Deep Blue Marine has several models to choose from, some have suction cups, two cups, four cups, small storage in middle, etc. also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Jazzy Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I've used these on my T-top legs and will be getting some for my console grab rail. They are pricey but very well made and work great. http://www.cudascustoms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSnell Marine can make you one to fit. They did not have one that worked for me so I drew one up, emailed it, and it was delivered in about 2 weeks. Holds 2 drinks, a slot for plastics, and another for whatever. http://www.seasnellmarine.com/default.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Tyler Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I bought a few made by TwoFish. They have velcro straps and are very useful. Even put them on the bottom rod holders so the guys on the front cooler have somewhere to put their drinks. Can't have enough cup holders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamaskeet Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 The best cup holders I have found are design to mount on baby carriages. I have them mounted on the console grab rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Guys thanks for all of the replies. Unfortunately I can't use anything that hangs over the sie or my console cover will not fit. About the only place I have is just right of the wheel about 6x6 that is about 20 degrees off horizontal. I did talk with Terry at Deep Blue.. They have a holder with a built in leveler that is not on their website. I am waiting for a picture. It could be the answer to my problem. If it works I'll be glad to post it. i will take any other ideas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't see the white silicone and if it does pop off, no harm...just add a few more drops and good to go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh B Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Can't beat the Sea Sucker products. I have the "two cup" holder that i use on my boat. I can move it all around, on the back side of the windshield, the front side of the windshield... back on the lower bulkhead, etc. It's easy to remove and move around and it holds like a champ. They also make a variety of holders that have storage, 2-3-4 cups, etc. They do cost more than others, but I think they are worth it. I definitely use it a ton. https://www.seasucker.com/shop/2-cup-holder-vertical-mount/# This pic shows a three cup holder and has little holes around the edges you can hang hooks, lures, etc. Josh B.

Miss Jazzy Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I bought that very same one from Seasucker and it worked great for a little while but now it will not hold suction at all even on glass. Disopointed esp. at how much they cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 had problem with a product also, products way to costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh B Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Really... ? Have you guys contacted them? They are a great company, local to me and I bet they would take good care of you. I've had mine for about a year and it's still working great. I know it also comes with some sealant gel that I think helps. But the only thing I can think of is that the softness of the suction cup might wear down over time with the sun damage, etc. I havent had this problem yet, but they do have replacement pads that are pretty cheap. Might be worth trying if the only problem is staying sucked tight. I would try calling them first... and i'm not affiliated with them in anyway, i just use mine every trip and love it. https://www.seasucker.com/product-category/replacement-parts/ Josh B.

Miss Jazzy Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 The cup is not the problem on mine. You can plug the little suction hole with your finger and watch the pump release itself. It has to be loosing air in the pumping housing somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
