The front of the console features a contoured Chaise Lounge with armrests. The front half of the cushion slides forward for additional legroom. The cushion slide allows us to have the two console-front cushions touching without the uncomfortable gap in between. The trick is that when the lid swings up, the cushions seamlessly separate, allowing the lid to fully open.
The lockable console interior on the Phenom 43 offers a secure and private space to store personal belongings or valuable gear. Designed with a flush-fitting door and integrated locking mechanism, it blends seamlessly into the console exterior for a clean look while giving owners peace of mind when leaving the boat unattended.

The aft area of the Phenom 43 is another multipurpose entertainment zone. At the center of it all, is a 3-4 person bench seat that completely disappears when not in use. We’ve taken this design challenge and delivered a rear bench that is worthy of a boat of this caliber.
At the flip of a switch, a large seat and the custom hardware raises up the backrest all in one fluid movement. The backrest is positioned at the perfect height to provide you with a comfortable seat even on long trips to your next adventure.
The deck has a gutter system throughout that routes any water on deck safely out to the gutters and into the collector box at the rear. Overall, this design is very effective at keeping the deck dry.
We wrap up this area with a spacious swim platform around the outboards. This is the perfect area to hang out in while at a sandbar and features decking that can be personalized to your preference. Modern outboard engine rigging allows for a clean and obstruction-free installation.
The Phenom 43 was designed to be a true offshore fishing machine. From day 1, the boat was designed to be a semi-custom performance center console. In the standard configuration, it features an Open Bow Layout and this gives this bow an incredible fishing deck. This boat also features our patent-pending automatic pressurized livewell system. The fishing pedigree of the Phenom 43 shows in every corner. Every aspect of it has been meticulously thought out and elevated to the next level.
One of the most impressive innovations on this boat is our proprietary automatic pressurized aquarium livewells. Each tank has a capacity of 40 gallon or 151.4 liters and two pumps. All 4 pumps sit inside of a custom sea chest in the bilge and are fed by two High Speed Raw Water Pick Ups. They feature a large seamless front glass and a hybrid fiberglass lid with the Phenom logo. In the manual mode, the livewells operate how you would expect a normal pressurized livewell system to work. Water pours out of the back and is constantly showering your engines and swim platform with raw water. We set out to design a better livewell system and what we’ve come up with resolves all of the common issues you may have encountered.
The system is powered by the on-board EmpirBus digital system and our custom algorithms for what we call, Automatic mode. For starters, we’ve equipped each tank with a pressure sensor that feeds the pressurization status of the tank back to the EmpirBus. The system then calculates the power required to keep the tank right at 0.1 PSI at a rate of 10 times a second. Making the necessary adjustments to maintain that perfect equilibrium of pressure and over pressure. Too much pressure is what causes the water to overflow and too little pressure cause the bait to get slushed around which is the leading cause of descaling, red nose and dead baits.
Another unique feature of these tanks is the location of the fills. The tank is designed to circulate the water constantly to eliminate ammonia and waste as quickly as possible. There are two fills located vertically that causes the water to create a swirling motion towards the drain. This ensures evenly clean water in the bait tank from top to bottom.
If you recall, there are 4 pumps in this system. Each livewell has a main pump and a backup pump. If the EmpirBus system detects a fault in the main pump, it will display an error message on the screen alerting you of the failure. The operator can then open the total access compartment to gain access to the valves. You must first close the valve on the main pump and open the valve on the backup pump. Agree to the prompt on the screen and resume normal operation of the livewell on the backup pump. This redundancy is critical offshore or in a tournament scenario to ensure you don’t lose your bait to a pump failure.
Lastly, we know that not every trip requires pressurized livewells so we also designed a short standpipe for partial fills, ideal for keeping shrimp, crabs or lobsters. As well as the built-in plug to utilize the tanks as a cooler.
There are (2) 347-Quart Macerated In-Deck Fish Boxes at the rear of the boat. Notice the detail on the underside of the lid for extra insulation. The inner part of the box is built into the stringer of the boat and has over 4 inches of insulation all the way around.
Mid-ship, there are (2) 225-Quart In-Deck Storage Boxes. The extra-large lids make it a breeze to load items in.
On the port side box, you will find the fitting for the overboard toilet pump-out on the designed landing inside of the box.
Located under the deck ring, we have the raw water hook up with spigot on the port side and the same thing for freshwater on the starboard side. This boat can hold up to 50 gallons of freshwater or 190 liters.
As far as receptacles go, we’ve equipped this boat with 4 electric reel outlets. The rear Hubbell receptacles can be found under the deck ring behind the side entry doors and on the front side of the mid-ship plenums.
Along the top of the deck ring, we have 6 Gemlux screwless rod holders. 3 on each side.
Starting with the top itself. It is an over-sized fiberglass top with 6 attachment points. This design gives the top an extremely rigid structure in extreme conditions without any flex. This top was also designed with the weight of a tower in mind in case you go that route.
For protection, an integrated tempered glass windshield with an actuated vent for ventilation will give everyone behind the helm protection from the elements.
For the morning and rainy trips, the windshield wipers add safety and convenience to the helm of the Phenom 43.
In the center section, we have a designed in spot for integrated teaser reels. As a standard, we have a pair of electric teaser reels. The line for those runs through the hard-top structure and out through designated spots on the top. When not in use, a lid closes to hide them away and regain a beautiful clean look.
Also at the top, you will find two ICOM M510 VHF radios. The mics are located inside of the glove compartment to the left of the helm to keep them out of the way. Having two radios will allow you to monitor two channels at the same time, a great feature for tournament fishing.
At the center, is the main engine gauge. The Mercury VesselView 7 displays all of the critical engine data including rpm, speed, fuel flow and efficiency, temperature, trim and more.
Across the rear of the top, we have a double row of rocket launchers for a total of 13 rods. This can be personalized to a single row of 7.
This top has been designed to accept the optional Gemlux Bluewater Outriggers. These outriggers and carbon fiber poles are designed to the highest standard in the fishing industry. They feature a set of collapsible 22-foot poles with triple rigging and a reinforced base ready to pull dredges.
Along the edge of the hard-top, we have a designed-in a grab edge. If you are walking down the gunwale, this safety feature will come in handy. Doesn’t matter where you are, there’s always a spot for you to safely grab.
At the helm, a pair of the Garmin 9227 27-inch screens. From this command center you will be able to monitor all of the systems on board and even reset any of the breakers through the built-in breaker manager in the EmpirBus.
We’ve created an all-encompassing Phenom app that includes a custom designed “Home” screen to give you a full boat status at a glance. This screen will also give you access to the most commonly used functions. There are other screens for fluid levels, battery monitoring, lights and pumps and the automatic livewell system.
For monitoring what’s ahead, an integrated Garmin Fantom 124 radar that puts out 120 watts of power and has built in MotionScope for tracking targets.
The keel of the boat has a pocket Airmar PM275LHW wide-beam CHIRP Transducer with 1kw of power. For access, we’ve designed in a removable section inside of the console.
If you are at the dock, this boat is equipped with one of the safest shore power systems on the market. The Smart Plug ELCI 50 Amp shore power system features a safe, simple and secure way and virtually eliminates the risks associated with shore power failures due to overheating. It allows you to fully test the system before engaging with a simple one-button test. Once green, you simply flick on the switch to turn on the shore power.
While the radios are up at the top, the mics are conveniently located at the helm area within the large glove box. Additionally you will find some storage for small items.
For tight maneuvering and precise spot locking capabilities, the Phenom 43 is equipped standard with two pieces of equipment.
The first is the Mercury Joystick Piloting System which will allow you to maneuver the boat diagonally, move sideways or even spin the boat.
The second is the Vetus Bow Pro 764 bow thruster which is designed to work in conjunction with the joystick to give you superior maneuverability. These two systems combined will give you confidence to dock and maneuver in any situation. We’ve also taken care of designing in access to the bow thruster for any maintenance or repairs.
Very few systems on the market fundamentally change the experience of offshore fishing the way a Seakeeper system does. Standard on the Phenom 43 is a Seakeeper 4.5 that was designed into a cradle pod in the stringer. The Seakeeper gyro eliminates up to 95% of roll on the boat and is a must have for offshore fishing. The large access compartment allows for the best access for maintenance and repairs.
Topping off the list of options is a FLIR M332 thermal camera that will allow you to navigate in complete darkness safely. This model includes a gyro to stabilize the picture for the crispest image on the screen.
Harmony is achieved in every direction with attention to detail to the highest degree. The curves and angles of the shearline tell the story of the character and boldness that the Phenom brand embodies.

Curated multi-texture materials by Sileather® can be found throughout the cockpit and down below deck with a plush and soft feel. Great care was taken to every single seat on the boat to ensure the most comfortable and ergonomically correct seating position.
When it comes to entertainment, the Phenom 43 comes to life. Let’s kick things off with a walkthrough of the sound system on this boat.
Driving the sound system is a Garmin Fusion Apollo RA770 head unit with a full-function remote at the bow. The head unit is concealed inside of the console glove box and has full integration into the Garmin displays.
Throughout the cockpit, there are JL Audio M6 speakers but we’ve gone a step further in integrating them into the deck. The innovative integrated speaker grille covers looks amazing throughout the cockpit and keeps every surface clean, uniform and free of clutter.
Powering these speakers is JL Audio’s state of the art MVi amplifiers with built-in DSP. This system has been hand-tuned by the team at JL to deliver the truest sounding system on the water. Every speaker is equalized to deliver the perfect sound in its environment and the result is impressive.
When it was time to light up the cockpit and underwater, we looked no further than Lumitec, the industry’s leading lighting experts.
All of the RGB lights are controlled by the Lumitec Poco Digital RGB Lighting Controller that power a slew of mirage flush lights on the hard top, 6 RGBW SeaBlaze underwater lights which span from the transom to the steps, side spreader lights, livewells, sea chest pump box and every inch of the deck ring with moray flex lighting with zero hot spots. This interior LED Lighting package brings this cockpit to the next level in style and function.
Safety lights includes an electric anchor light by Taco marine and integrated Lumitec navigation lights that double up as docking lights.
The top is also equipped with an array of razor spreader lights at the front. The center light is a spotlight and the outer two are flood lights. At the back, an additional flood light for the rear cockpit.
The rear back spreader, lights up the cockpit for night fishing and loading early in the morning.
When coming into the dock, the side spreaders will light the way shining both out and down.
Throughout the cockpit of the Phenom 43 there are many convenience features and personalizations available to make your time on the water more enjoyable and add unique styling to your boat.
Wrapping all the way around the bow and cockpit areas are bolster cushions. These stylish cushions feature a double diamond stitch pattern and fit tightly around every corner.
For the ultimate custom yacht look, we offer faux teak packages for the transom, seat backs, helm pod and bow toe rail.
Pulling up to the dock, you will find conveniently located Phender Pro Quick Disconnect holders and a custom Phenom Hawse pipe that leads to the Gemlux 10” pull up cleats located midship and aft.
While fishing or at the sandbar, the top has been recessed to accept the rear Gemlux shade system. This shade does not interfere with outriggers or fishing lines as it has no attachment points on the deck.
