ABSTRACT:
A dash system that allows it to be fastened independently of the related and non-related components using an engagement system that captures the forward edge of the dash. The dash is “slid” into place from the rear, and then locked into place with a fastener at the rear facing edge, which is easily accessed. This sliding action allows the forward deck engaging means to engage its matching receiver that is designed into the deck surface of the boat. The deck/dash engagement system enables the dash to be removed without the need to remove many other elements surrounding the dash area. Alternatively, or in addition to the fastener proximal to the rear facing edge, a single fastener at the forward or leading edge in proximity to the forward latching or deck engaging means is sufficient to secure the deck to the deck surface while still providing ease of access and removal.
