Product Description

PROTECT AND ORGANIZE YOUR EQUIPMENT: Gives your trolling motor pedal a secure, recessed foundation. It's also a great way to keep your equipment from becoming cluttered and being damaged.

THIS PAN WILL LAST A LONG TIME: This pan is made of aluminum and has a black powder coat finish. It's UV-protected, which means it won't rust or fade. It's relatively light, so it won't add much to the weight of your fishing boat.

WILL FIT MOST BRANDS: The design is universal. The pan's outside dimensions are 12 inches wide by 19-3/8 inches long, and it can accommodate any trolling motor foot control brand, including MinnKota and MotorGuide. Your boat deck has a 10-1/2" wide by 17-3/4" long cutout or hole. The mounting area is 9-3/4" wide by 17" long by 4" deep on the inside.

EASY TO INSTALL: Includes predrilled countersunk mounting holes that require 10–8 wood screws (not included). A hole in the bottom of the pan allows any accumulated water to be properly drained out.

OFFERS COMFORT AND SAFETY: By keeping your foot pedal level with the deck, you'll be able to apply pressure to the pedal with ease. This can prevent you from getting pains in your ankles, knees, calves, or back.

Questions & Answers

Will it fit the ultrex if it's a certain size on the inside?

Ultrex is a good fit for you.

Is it possible to use a Minn Kota Fortex foot pedal?

Yes. My ultrex pedal fits, though it is a little wider than yours.

What are the requirements for draining it? Is it possible to purchase a kit?

It will drain into the boat's hull, where it will be removed by your bilge pump. There is no need for an extra kit.

Will the new Motorguide tour pro be able to use this?

It used to have an old motor guide tour pro in it, but now it has an ultrex. Get the dimensions of the foot pedals. Just double-check to see if it will fit.

Solution for the drain hole As you may have noticed, there is no drain nipple included with this

5/5

A 1/2" hole is all that is required. I considered a variety of options in my head before deciding on this one as the safest and most long-lasting. You'll need a 1/2" x 1/2" MNPT elbow to begin. Brass. I drilled out the hole a bit to widen it until my threads appeared to be taking. Attach vice grips to the fitting and turn while applying downward pressure. Forcing a start. You may need to drill a few times until the hole is the right size for threads to begin. Keep it level. The barb should be facing the back side of the tray, which is the vertical side. You're ready to go once you've secured your 1/2 hose. This is a fantastic alternative to the others because it is less expensive.

The tray had bowed corners

3/5

The first tray I ordered had two-quarters of the lip corners bent when it arrived. The tray wouldn't fit flush on the deck. I ordered a replacement, but it arrived with 1/4-inch bent corners. I bent the corner of the tray lip with my vice grips to make it flush with the tray lip. The bent corner can be seen in this photo. It's visible, but it's not a major issue. If you can live with the possibility of bent corners, I believe the price is reasonable. On my boat, the installation went relatively smoothly. I am pleased with the outcome of the project.

It was well worth the money

5/5

This is an investment that will pay off in the long run. Cutting a large hole in my boat was a little nerve-wracking, but it was a simple installation that makes using the troller a hundred times easier. My Minn Kota Maxxum is perfect for the job.

This purchase did not meet my expectations

3/5

Despite the fact that the shipping container was undamaged on the outside, the item arrived with one corner bent. There are no instructions or a template for cutting a hole in my deck included. You'd think that something as important as cutting a hole in the deck would come with at least a template. I'll figure it out, but you only get one chance, so don't blow it. There are also some fundamental instructions, such as what size screws should be used to attach it to the deck I'll work it out once more. I'm fairly handy, but others may not be or lack the confidence to take on this task without some guidance.

No bent corners on this pan, overall looks good, template would be nice, no drain as described, but I can make my own, welds a little thick, hoping it sets flush on the deck, but I'm thinking I'll have to grind it down, but for the price it's a good pan

4/5

If you compare all of the other pans, you'll find that this one is half the price, if not more. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, so I'll update you later.

It really works

5/5

For my Ultrex, it was exactly what I needed.

For the price, it is excellent

5/5

Most "newer" bassboats are stuffed full of foam wherever they can squeeze it. It's not difficult in the least; all you need is a good multi-tool (oscillating sander/cutter), and the foam cuts easily. Installing it was simple, and the result was fantastic.

The tray is well-made and has a nice finish

5/5

When we were restoring an aluminum bass boat, we decided to include a tray for the trolling motor switch pedal. It makes a huge difference when it's "sunk" into the deck. We used 8 stainless steel sheet metal screws to secure it to the plywood deck because there was no hardware included and we didn't have to hunt for it.
