but there is a CON
once you get to the point where your health is better fishing sitting rather than standing for 8+ hours a day that recessed controller is a pain in the....
You have to bend your foot forward and downward in an unusual postion.
I actually filled mine in. I sit on a power pole like everyone else but most of the time I have it in the down position.
These 70 years old legs and knees appreciate not having to stand all day long.

I think it depends on your height (leg length), and how you adjust the pedestal (butt) seat. I am about 5'10"and my inseam is about 30" I wish I had installed it right up to the front console (depth finder). MIne is about 4" back. Try other people's setup before you cut. I am still very satisfied, though!

Not sure where you live, but I've got one I'll make you a sweet deal on. I live just outside of Houston.

They are easy to install and they do make it better on your back.
If you are putting it on a Champion, BE CAREFUL where you put it. Those boats have support beam under the deck that runs from one side to the other and they are about 2X8 and they run about 1/2 way between the seat and the bow.

....

.... I had similar issues when I first installed mine, but you can turn the head on your trolling motor in the mount and adjust the level/angle of the footpedal when motor is straight ahead.

Why would you want to stand all day holding one leg up in the air? Install it!
