You have a real problem there.
I am willing to take the boat/problem off your hands for free.
I'll even find you another boat that doesn't have this problem.

You just need a girl in a bikini to hold the chart in place. And another one for the beer. Simple really.

Solution:

use a skillsaw and cut some grooves across the top of the dash. You can then wedge the edge of your chart in and it.

A staple gun would hold the chat in place, Maybe some 4" spikes would also do the job.

Problem solved. Thumbtacks and 'monkey dung' do the trick.

Of the answers so far I like Basil's the best. However my simple solution is to use the handymans best tool and simply Duct Tape the chart in place.

P.S. Norm's solution of the girl in the bikini is good but she should be holding the beer.

there's always a duct tape...:D Naaaa...
That is a awfully nice dashboard... I wouldn't mind having one like that in my truck...

Is that the red and white they rebuilt to a somewhat different standard than usual? If so, I saw the boat in Mystic this summer, as it was on display at the show. If not, it needs a chart table!

I think it would take 6 girls in bikinis
4 for the chart, one for each corner.
2 for the beer, one to hold the beer and one to fetch refills

I would tend to think you could make something out of particle board and epoxy that'd do both jobs and you could 5200 it right to the dash. You guys overthink these things. One trip to Home Depot....Bam...Done!

Stick some steel on the back of the wooden thing then steal Keith's rare earth fridge magnets.

This is definitely the answer. Just take look at the finish of the boat! It needs a few of these final details. ;)

I got a better Idea Tatoo the charts on the girls(should make for some interesting topography)

One practical thing no one has mentioned about girls in bikinis is that they won't scratch the finish on the wood.
