Wilderness Systems Kayak Konsole with Dry Hatch

excellent - fits perfect and works as expected

Great addon to an older Pungo120.

Wilderness Systems Kayak Console is one-of-a-kind. It does what it is supposed to do. However, I must add that the console is designed in a way that it can come off very easy. This is good and bad. In a roll, it will come off unless it is secured very well... Hence the reason I am buying this replacement.

I like the konsole on my Pungo 140, very convenient. However, the downward plastic edges to the left and right of the front pouch is too low. I scrap my shins when ever I get my legs in. I'm 6'2". I plan to cut them back a bit and add a small section of split rubber tubing to each side to smooth out the sharp edges. Also, the top hatch does not seal very well. Always wet inside. I used Armor-All on. the gaskets, helped. Can be taken on/off easily.

I'm using this on my Pungo 120 and love it. It provides a useful deck and forward storage compartment for my phone/keys, etc. Love it!

Received my order promptly and in excellent condition. Will definitely order from this company again!

Wilderness Systems Kayak Konsole with Dry Hatch: This unit is really great! Very handy for quick gear item access and keeps the "splash" off in cold wx 'yaking. It fit my Pungo 120 perfectly. For my wife's Pungo 100, the hatch covers part of the cockpit gunwale padding, so I radiused the panel corners a little bit to keep it from wearing the pads. Easy to trim...file, utility knife, etc.

The kayak console was exactly what I wanted and it came as expected with no problems or difficulties or surprises.

Works well for its intended use, though I had to trim and round the bottom rear edge to keep from scraping my knees when getting into or out of the cockpit. The cockpit cover does not fit nicely with the Konsole installed, so I have to remove it before putting the cover on.

I saw this on a kayak paddle and thought instantly, this would be so cool. I bought two that afternoon. Its a great idea but the design has some flaws. First, I had to cut the front lip off mine entirely because it dug into my shins. The cup holders are rather shallow so they don't hold a waterbottle all that well. I put a foam "cozy" on the bottle and that helped. I love the dry hatch and if nothing else this is a reason to buy. The other two areas of the Konsole are odd shaped and not really sure what you'd put there. If you were a fisherman maybe lures but for a recreational kayaker they are incidental. The little mesh bag holds power bars just fine. My wife likes hers; I could go either way.

We have two Pungo 120 ULs and these consoles fit them perfectly. I was able to drill the small holes I needed to RAM mount my Garmin GPSMAP 64s in one of the recessed mounting surfaces with no problems. The cup holders are a bit shallow and water bottles tend to tip over. I found that if I put a koozie on my bottles they stay in place. Very happy with this purchase.

This is the most amazing accessory for kayak's. Old or new kayak's I would highly recommend adding this accessory.

I love this! I bought them for my two Prodigy 10s and it fits perfectly and adds just the right amount of storage space. This site has the best price as well.

Great product. Dry hatch and other places to put gear really helps on longer kayak trips. Stays securely in place and remains on kayak, even during wet exit practices.

Useful! Hods my coffee or water bottle, fish hooks, etc. I do put my cell phone in the hatch, but only after first putting it into a water tight bag, because this hatch is NOT water tight. Also, I often scrape my shins on the sharp edges when I get out.

Solid construction - fits a Pungo 120 very well. The water-proof hatch is very difficult to close and open; I tried a bit of grease to ease the closure/opening - did not make much of a difference. If the hatch loosens-up during use, I would rate a five. If not, a solid four and I will likely just leave the O-ring out.

Fits perfect. Even was able to bolt it on with the side screw holes for that perfect factory added look. Great seal regarding the hatch as well.

Great product but will not fit old town angler deluxe kayak! Missed the deadline to return :(

I got this as an early christmas present for my self. I installed it onto a Field and Stream Eaglerun sit in kayak. I had to cut the OE cup holder area (which was useless) and i used a small electric handsaw and files to smooth out edges. I tried it out this weekend and I am very happy with it. I was able to keep my drinks right in front of me with out having it roll aroung the inside of my kayak. The little baf up front was perfect for my favorite fishing plastics. I added a Hobie mount, extention, and rod holder to the right compartment, I had it moutned behind me but it is much better now mounted in front. I also attached my fishfinder screen to the left compartment. So far I have outfitted my kayak with accesories all bought at his site. I have been really happy with all products and the prices are the best.

Had to make it fit with a bit of cutting with a dremel tool.

We use this on our Wilderness Systems Pungo 100. It works great. Water tight and extra kayaking storage.

Although I bought this, I have not had a chance to place it on my kayak or use my kayak at this point. That will happen this summer.

I purchased this for my Wilderness Pungo. Fits and I love it.

This is a really nice dashboard, but it doesnt fit a Perception Tribute. No matter how bad you try... I sure wish it did!

I love this product. I love it so much that I bought another one after I accidentally snapped off the dry hatch when I flipped my kayak over to clean it. Then, within weeks, I had done the same thing to the new one. The hatch is secured with metal L-shaped pins that connect the lid to the body of the plastic console. I had the lid closed the second time, but not locked. The plastic gives way upon impact. duh I have been told I cannot purchase just the replacement hatch, so I now have two perfectly good consoles that have no dry hatches. Not quite the same enjoyment. Much sadness. I am apparently too dumb to own this product.

Fit nicely. Installed easily. Adds a nice addition to the kayak.

Konsole works well for stowing camera,cell,and wallet in the waterproof hatch. Other spaces keep fishing gear and drink containers stable and within reach.Its easy to install/remove. A negative is that the Konsole reduces the cockpit space and makes exiting my Pungo 120 more difficult. More limber, or smaller, kayakers probably would not have this problem.

As noted by a previous reviewer, this product doesn't fit the WS Pamlico perfectly. I modified mine in much the same way as the previous reviewer, but also utilized two sets of paddle straps (with the bungee cord and hooks) to secure it. This has worked well and keeps me from accidentally lifting the console and having it snap towards my face, due to the bungee cord securing it under the coming of my boat. The draft hatch is very snug and watertight, the two cupholder sizes work well for just about anything, the mesh front pocket holds plenty, and the side wells are perfect for a Scotty rod holder mount.

Product is everything that the description speaks of. Good quality, well made very happy.

I like it but I screwed it to my kayak, with stainless bolts, to make it more solid

excellent very handy for water, coffee, ect, also having a dry compartment for electronics, is great, so nice not to have things on the floor of the kayak

Didn't fit my 12' Pamlico really well, so I had to modify the console to fit more securely, trimming off some of the plastic, enlarging the coming openings. Now it fits great. I added a Scotty raised rod holder, so its great as a fishing console. The large cup holder even fits a 32oz Nalgene. The dry hatch is a very snug fit and can be a little difficult to open one handed, but snug means water-tight so I'm okay with that. All around a great product.

Great accessory for my Pungo 120. It keeps my camera close by and dry. Also a good holder for soft drinks or water bottles. Everything you bring along doesn't have to be between your legs now. I love it.

Very handy indeed. Didn't like the price, though...

A little pricey but definitely cool for the fisherman. You can also use it on any kayak. I take it on my fishing kayak and also on my touring yak. It doesn't interfere with your legs either. Cup holder could be a little larger though.

I love it. I use it along with a paddlejack paddle support on a looksa 4 kayak. I fish and tour with it. I also found this site to have the best price.
