How SECURE is the console when it is in place? Will it hold up to a KY Lake or Guntersville BEATIN'?

It is solid. It has been thoroughly tested at both places.

I was watching them demo it at the classic and got into the boat by pulling on it after it was installed. It is surprisingly stable and solid. No worries there.

I have had mine for a little over a year. Also, my boat was at the Nashville fishing show last year. The console was taken out and put back in more times than most people will do throughout the ownership of their boat. I have also been on Guntersville and Eufaula in rough water. The console is still rock solid, and the wife loves it, especially in cold or wet weather.

I can answer that one real well for you as far as Ky lake goes, and give me two weeks and will be able to tell you about G'ville.
But last spring when I had the boat less than 3 weeks and had never been in any rough water with it, we got caught in 4 -5 ft rollers on Ky lake. Had the motor trimmed to high and hit the first wave coming out of a creek and free feel to the bottom, not a rattle in the boat and passenger had a death grip on the grab bar that in on the passengers console. It did not move one bit and I asked him after we caught our breath. We are both 61 so that was no fun for either of us.
You can buy a Phoenix and know you are getting a top quality rig that will last.
This is the best rig I have ever owned, and my last one was a Triton. Rock solid, quality craftsman ship, and customer service is but a phone call away.
OH and they handle like they are on rails, turn the wheel and it responds NOW!

Is this a standard feature or an add on option?
