Inboard diesel 1974 23' seacraft potter hull

yes the sides have two large screws on each side and than
the front cross brace in the front is also attached with two screws and the base of the console is screwed to the floor about 6 places. The center consol is making the ttop stable. Remember when you have outriggers out ,it puts lot of stres on the whole thing. There are lot of manufactures that will not guarantee the t top when you use outriggers.
That is why I have lot of access hatches to get to the engine without lifting the console.
This console is very heavy that it takes quite an effort to lift it. But that is what you want, not some light junk.

Here are some pictures of the engine compartment
