Abstract
A console for holding nautical indicators has a back wall, opposite, generally parallel side walls, top and bottom walls and an open front for receiving an indicator. Preformed openings are in the side walls, closed by a frangible membrane, for receiving fasteners through aligned openings in adjacent side walls of two consoles placed side-by-side to secure the two consoles together as a unit. Each console is configured to support and enclose a single indicator, and a plurality of consoles with associated indicators may be readily secured together to form a multi-indicator console.
