Passenger Triton Console Question

[FindingFish]

Hello, does anybody know if a 2014 TRX 21’ Port side console will fit correctly on a 2019 TRX 21’?

Thank you in advance

I am 99.99% sure they are the same. But look out for that .01%. It sometimes sneaks up and makes ya lookin like an idiot for replying. Honestly though, bet ud be good with it. I do know for sure a 17 and 19 are the same.

Thank you for the reply, that .01% is my only concern ��

FindingFish could you let me know when you find the answer to your question?

I still am not 100% sure, I spoke with my authorized Triton dealer and they said they are about 90% sure it will work but might require some extra drilling or parts to make it work. I was hoping to get more of a concrete answer. But not sure 100% sure yet

For what it is worth….if the console is the same size you can make it work. I put a passenger console from an older triton (as I recall it was from a 2001 Tr 21) into my 2007. I installed it with 6 bolts (in hindsight 4 would have been plenty) as I did not try to make it removeable.

Thanks Lightning 6, being removeable is important to me. When it's just my son & I on cold days it will be nice to have the port console, but on warmer days or when we have a friend fishing with us I want to be able to remove it to have the deck space.

Call c&o…..they carry almost everything and will probably know exactly what other hardware you would need.

Update: I decided to pull the trigger and purchase the used 2014 21TRX Passenger Console. The gentleman that I got it from was very friendly, and ended up storing it for several years after his son grew up and he no longer needed a dual console. It really is in great condition. I figured it would be worth a try to fit it on my 2019 21TRX, the dealer wanted over $1600 for a new one and it was worth taking a chance on the used one.

To my surprise, it is an almost an exact fit, with 1 exception. One of the two underside console holes is off by about 1/8th of an inch on the bottom mounting area of the console. This should be an easy fix by redrilling this area.

I was able to check the fit & secure it with 1 of the twist knobs and it lines up perfectly. The other very surprising thing is that the color/gel coating is literally an exact match or very close to an exact match for my boat. Once installed I will not be able to tell that it came off another boat.

This Sunday, I will install the "Delrin Plate", the part that the console rests on and locks into position. I had to get some marine fastening screws, masking tape, a counter sink drill bit, some 3M 5200 to properly install the Delrin Plate.

When I drill and install the Delrin Plate, this my plan: Please let me know if you have any additional recommendations.

1) I will put some masking tape over the area that needs to be drilled
2) Then while aligning the console and position of the Delrin Plate, I will mark-up the tape where the Derin Plate is going to be located (marking the tape and triple checking my measurements)
3) I will then use the countersink drill bit to start to carefully take off the gel coating around the screw areas
4) Next, I will use a drill bit to drill the pilot holes for the screws & remove the masking tape.
5) I plan to put a tiny dab of the 3M 5200 into the screw holes (as an added layer to secure the screws in tightly for the long haul)
6) Last step to mount the Delrin Plate and screw it in place

Looking forward to any recommendations on drilling or mounting. Stay tuned for pictures over the next few days.

From my research in 2014 the interior of TRX21 was slightly changed from 2013 and earlier years. But 2014-2019 21TRX are about the same layout. It is possible that the shape of the console has changed just slightly over the years, but I can confirm that a 2014 will fit on a 2019 with very minimal adjustments.

I'm in for the pictures.

Good deal. When u start ur drilling I’d recommend running the drill in reverse so u don’t splinter the gel coat. Other than that it seems like Uve got a good game plan.

Thanks for the tip, I did this and it worked perfect!

2014 21TRX Removable Port Console Installed on a 2019 21TRX

After some minor adjustments to the Delrin Plate and one of the holes at the bottom of the console, the fit and finish look great. To my amazement the gel coat color is an exact match.

I also included some pictures of the Delrin Plate (blue masking tape to mark the drill holes). I carefully used a power sander to slightly reshape the bottom of the plate in small increments at a time. It was a bit high but sanding it down on the bottom reduced the height to where it needed to be.

A 2nd small adjustment was needed to slightly open up one of the holes at the bottom of the console where it attaches using the console screw knobs. The hole was slightly off about 1/4”, probably a design variation for 2014 to 2019.

Hope the pictures help anyone in the future looking to install a port/passenger console. Just take your time and make small incremental adjustments. Happy New Year.
