ahhhhhh - the dreaded foot on the keys job!!!!
an expensive mishap - think it cost us £70 for a replacement front to the the ignition facia!!!!!
This looks like a good idea, but does it not become a little fiddly to get the key in and turn it also are you able to read the gauges alright.
I had thought of a piece of clear plastic attached to the piece of wood via piano hinge.
UNLESS someone has any other ideas.....

Hello Sue. I mounted the bar just above the level of the key hole. That way I have no problem using the key and the instruments are in full view when viewed from above. Garth.

Hi,

Instead of stepping on the key my concern would be stepping on the bar, because if one steps on it the forces on the polyester side would be uge.

Also the key is in the ignition only for short periods of time while the bar is in place all the time.

Have you found a way to prevent damage on the poly when stepping on the bar?

Hello Ron. The bar is just wide enough to deflect the downward moving foot, it is not possible to exert significant force on it. Garth.

Hi Grahame,
 
We passed on the high seas outside of Prudeux Haven this August 2010.  Boat looked good.  Hope all is well

Grahame, I have kept the "IKEA Baren" tip in the back of my head ever since you wrote your post over three years ago. I have now grown mature enough to drill the holes to fit them myself on the cupboard tops in the front cabin. The many scratches and bruises my boat has gained over the years also helped me make the decision.

What you see in the picture is one third of the charts we carry. Another third will be found on the port side and all the rolled up charts in the very front of the fore cabin. We carry charts from Helsinki to Amsterdam. And my chart plotter? Don't have one. Don't need it.

Applying Chart Updates to your collection must be quiet time consuming Wink

Hello

Another solution is to remove that small tap on the key which locks the key when in position ON. Then the key can be removed during motering and put back in, in order to turn power OFF when the engine is turned OFF.

Johan, you are very unique in several aspects:-)
 
Regarding the location of the IKEA Baren on top of the locker, I installed after the tips in this thread and mounted them close at the edge.
Based on my new experience I think I would have put them a few centimeter from the edge of the shelf to enable us to grab the edge when sailing in big waives, that would also make it easier to use long screws into the vertical wood below or to use (or washer and nut below of the shelf). Not as far as Johan have done because we store larger seacharts on top of the shelf and I think we should add some line to prevent pilot books from jumping down as happend this summer. (We do have both chartplotter and papper sea charts just in case of electrical failure of the plotter).

After many years some of the Ikea Baren mounting brackets on Tangleberry have broken, probably due to crew using them as handholds. The glass is still fine. 

I found these brackets which look sturdier. Ordered online and still waiting for them to arrive.
