CUSTOM Aquagrip Boat Helm Pads

The pad

Engineered foam, cut to your boat.

Every pad is made to order for a specific helm station, dash or console. Nothing is pulled off a shelf and trimmed to fit.

  • Small pads

    Pads that come to $90 or more are our standard helm pads. A smaller pad is priced for its size, from $35 — the studio shows that price as you build and puts it straight in your cart.

    Same foam, same CNC cut, same 3M backing. The only difference is size.

Custom orders

Nothing gets cut until you say so.

Custom work goes wrong when someone guesses. So we don't.

01

You design it

In the Design Studio. Your dimensions, your layout, your logo.

02

We draw it

We turn your design into a shop drawing and email it to you for approval.

03

You approve it

Change anything you want. Nothing goes to the machine until you sign off.

04

We cut it

CNC-cut in Prospect, then shipped. Written instructions and install videos included.

The terms, plainly

  • You have two weeks to approve or request changes to your drawing. No response after that and the order is cancelled and refunded in full.
  • Cancel before we send your drawing — full refund, no questions.
  • Cancel after the drawing but before cutting — full refund less a $30 design fee for the drafting time.
  • Once cutting begins the pad exists and is yours alone, so custom orders are final sale from that point.
  • Logos are centred and scaled to sit well unless you tell us otherwise. Max upload 10MB.

  • James and AquagripCT were a pleasure to work with. He was very communicative, gave great advice for our project, completed it in short order, and was more reasonable than I was expecting for the scope. I have already recommended him to others and will patronize them without hesitation in the future. Thank you James!
