    Trolling motor tray tool and drink holder - wanting ideas

    Looking for what you've made/done/bought, for a tool and drink holder, to go over or above a recessed trolling motor tray.
    What material did you use? Plastic cutting board? Metal? Starboard? Something else?
    I'm looking to make something.
    Let's see those pictures !

    ABS, very easy to work with, use ABS solvent to weld pcs together, tap plastics will have everything you need
    Thank You Leon Pugh

    ^^^^^ This. Plastic is easy to work with for sure. Bends with heat, cuts with conventional tools, thicker stuff can be screwed, glued and tattooed... :) Seriously, I bought a sheet of 4' x 8' 1/8" stuff through Menards and I have been amazed how creative you can be with it.

    if you use a front seat, there are attachments for the pole to hold both?

    This is a Robo Cup drink holder with the add on tool halder. Works just great for me.

    I like this idea. You can really do a lot with the cutting board.
    when you see this on the water stop and say hi.

    Thank all! I like the cutout for the cables, good idea, I like the creativity!
    So far, I don't always use a front seat. That's why I was interested in a holder over the trolling motor tray. However, I did get a millennium marine Palma style seat. Only used it once though.

    3 inch wide 1/8" aluminum strap. Bend it like a graph bracket, cut holes for tools. If you find a 4" wide piece, you could easily cut a hole and drop a cup holder in it.
