I built my console first too. It was easier to cut all the holes and mount everything inside under cover and then take the whole console out and sikafix/screw it onto the boat.
Steve, I like the thing that I don't know the name for... little storage shelf (assume that you'll have a front to it like Nick's) 'cos that would be dead handy on ours. Might be an idea to get a couple of neat stainless steel rings/hoops fixed just above it to give a lanyard attachment point so stuff doesn't fly out.

The Optimax guages will even give you fuel readings to the next waypoint if you have a GPS wired up to it! (I'm not an exspurt - I've read the manual!)
I like to have the chartplotter directly infront - so that I can see whats happening!!. If its in the passenger position then you have to start relying on the passenger - if you have one!!
I would have had mine a little higher - sometimes its a little near the wheel
