I am a new Ranger owner and would like to recess the foot pedal to my Minnkota Fortex in my 2002 518vx. I have no problem cutting and screwing the tray in but i'm not sure if there's a proper spot in the deck for it. Does it have to be in the center? Is there any support under the deck for the tray or does it rely on the strength of the tray for support? Iv'e seen you tube videos, some with aluminum and some with plastic. One guy cut out what looked like a major deck support and I don't have any interest in doing that. I'm wondering if there is an optimum location on Ranger boats, mine in particular and what material tray are you guys using. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks..
