    Smile recessed trolling motor foot pedal

    i'm thinking of having a recessed trolling motor foot pedal plate put in my boat
    has anyone had this done? and if so do you like the recessed foot pedal? i have a bad back & beleive this would help . i've talked some guys with new boats that came this way & they say they wouldn't be without it .just thought i'd get some more opinions before i had it done.my boat is a 1998 ranger 519.

    thanks ranger519

    I have owned 2 rangers and did both of mine. I would not have it any other way. You will like it. Just measure correctly and take your time...

    Yes!!! Worth its weight in gold. Had it a last boat and then had it put in the Z19. Only thing is if you sit in the front, you have to have long legs or make sure it's a short pedestal.

    Re: recessed trolling motor foot pedal

    Well after all this talk on a recessed foot pedal I broke down and ordered one from BassPro Shop tonight. Anyone on here put one in a 518, how bad is it to get the drain line thru the foam and it only comes with 2' on drain line.

    You will not regret it. I have seen several 518's with them in there - it shouldn't be too hard to run the drain tube. The ones from BPS the Flat Foot is great (I have one). It has the biggest drain - so the tube for it is the same as a 1 inch garden hose. So you can cheaply purchase a longer one if you need. It is by far the best thing I have put on my boat. I can fish all day with far less fatigue.
