Ideas for 2320 dash storage?

[jrannestad]

I have been using these plastic shallow containers of various sizes (1" deep x 6" x 9" and 3" x 12" and 6" x 12") to stores stuff on the dash. I velcro the containers to the dash with velcro tape so they are removable. I use them to store things I need quick access to: cellphones, wallets, fishing gear etc and stuff I dont want to carry in my pockets.

The containers are now cracked due to the uv rays and I will need to figure out what to do to replace them.

What do you folks do? Any good ideas?

Non slip mat works well for me.

What Bryan said or if you have a lot of stuff I bought a couple of those suction cup canvas storage pouches they work well and can store a lot of stuff in them, see picture below, you can find them at most marine stores.

Mine is teak ... but new bins could be had easy at the local $1 store ...

I use a combination of non-slip (used for storing glassware in your cabinets), and a piece of teak that I put in place to keep stuff from sliding off in rough seas.

I use the covers for my Garmin GPS and Furuno fish finder as 'trays' to hold my stuff while under way.
The combination of the teak strip and the non-skid works well.

I picked up one of these last month.
It's a bit bigger than I imagined, but it fits (barely) on my 2520 dash.
Lots of storage plus 2 cup holders.
I took the suction cups off and attached it with velcro to prevent sliding..
The back box opens up via the lid and has a good bit of storage.

I think they will make a custom size also.

Thanks for all the good the input. The non slip mat idea is a simple good idea and the teak stopper board makes it even better.

Here is what I ended up doing: added a red oak stopper board with a side piece, non slip mat and rubbermaid drawer organizers and utensil tray. I am happy with it for now, until the stuff flys all over the place in heavy seas.
