Custom marine component design

What Coast Dynamix does

Coast Dynamix designs custom marine components with practical engineering judgment: clear interfaces, manufacturable geometry, and documentation suitable for coordinated production.

Suitable component examples

• Custom brackets and mounts
• Adapters between mismatched interfaces
• Housings and covers
• Hardware designed around real clearances

Inputs needed from the customer

• Photos and space constraints
• Load or duty notes when known
• Preferred materials
• Quantity and timeline

Expected deliverables

• Custom CAD design
• Manufacturing documentation when scoped
• Finished manufactured components when fabrication is included
• Delivery of completed parts
• On-vessel or yard installation when requested

Process overview

1. Step 1

   Define constraints

   Map space, mounting, and functional requirements from customer inputs.

2. Step 2

   Design the component

   Iterate CAD for fit, manufacturability, and service conditions.

3. Step 3

   Document and produce

   Deliver files and, when quoted, coordinate manufacturing through partners.

• Sliding Door Latch Bracket — A failed sliding-door latch bracket on a Broward 112 was reverse engineered, upgraded in CAD, machined in 316 stainless, delivered, and installed on the vessel — plus spare brackets for the owner.
• Windlass Rope Stop — A fractured windlass rope stop was documented on deck, rebuilt in CAD, and reproduced as engineered replacements — including finished coated parts and a polymer option — so the windlass could return to reliable service without OEM availability.
• Deck Cam Lever — Worn deck cam levers and a bent fastener were reverse engineered into replacement hardware, then checked against the block and cleat on deck.

FAQ

Is this the same as reverse engineering?

Custom design starts from requirements; reverse engineering starts from an existing part. Many projects combine both.
