I noticed in Academy today that they sell a kit that will recess the foot control for a trolling motor. Obviously, there would be some cutting of the fiberglass needed. Is this a bad idea for 2001 Skeeter XZ190?

Thanks

NO BIG DEAL I HAVE DONE 2 OF THEM IN MY BOATS. ONE BEING A NITRO THE OTHER BEING A TRITON. THE TRAY COMES WITH A LAYOUT OF WHERE TO CUT. LAY IT DOWN MARKET IT AND CUT. IT IS THAT SIMPLE OR AT LEAST FOR ME IT WAS. I USED A JIG SAW WITH A WOOD BLADE.

I've been to two Academy's and neither had the recessed foot control. Is there another store or online (Link?).

Thanks,

read this before you cut...

Love mine recessed.

It was the same as the comfortroll but was square in back, and cost a good deal less. Mine worked out fine.
