Recessed trolling motor pedal tray

[Simonlawnservice]

Has anybody put one of these in? Does it really help? Where is the best place to get one? I have seen them from $75 to $145. Any tips or info is greatly appreciated

I have had them installed in my last two boats. Makes a bigger difference than you will ever imagine. I bought a troll well and paid a little more, but they match your boat color from the factory.

I helped a friend install one in his ranger and it was very simple to do. He got his at BPShop for about $150.00. I'm wanting to install one in my 1999 Triton. If you find one at a good price and it's good quality, would you let me know? I've got a Fortrex TM.

The cheapest ones I have seen are at tackle warehouse for 75

Install it and you wont regret it. Like pastorbass said it makes a much bigger difference than you would imagine. If youre ever in rough water it will help you keep your balance.

Here is picture of mine after it was installed (or I should say a link to take you to a picture). I posted at BBC because Troll Well is a board sponsor there. I can't say enough good about the tray.

Once you go to a recessed trolling motor pedal tray you will never go back to one just resting on the deck. They help you keep your balance and save your back after a long day of fishing

Do you know of anyone around C-ville that would install one for us?

Eddie Goode lives just outside of Lebanon - he is a blue water LED installer and does things like that as well. He actually installed one on my last boat he fabricated himself. Does great work on led lights, depth finder installs, and recessed trays.

You can install it yourself. I put mine in in about 40 minutes after a local "stealer" told me that to do it right would require at least two hours of labor (at $70/hr) plus the cost of the tray. It's not hard to do.

I watched the video. We have a 18.5' Skeeter and I'm just not too fond of cutting into any of the bow structure. If not for that possibility I know it would be easy enough to do ourselves. Especially since we keep the boat in our basement. I love to fish while standing up without the butt seat there at all. A recessed tray sure would make that easier. I guess the tray can be moved back away from the bow structure but I want it to be comfortable to use with the seat too.

Eddie can do it for sure, but theyre really really easy to install yourself. With the tools and very little know how its a 30-45 minute job. If youd like eddies number i can get it for you and pm me it to you. If you decide to do it yourself, put the butt seat in and see where your foot naturally hits the floor in the center of the deck. Use that mark for the center of your hole. Theyre worth much more than they cost for the ease on your back, and if youre like me, your knees
