    Recess trolling motor tray on 295 Pro XL help.

    Just got my new trolling motor in and this time I am planning to go with a recess trolling motor tray, I need help figuring out where to cut so that I wont cut into anything important under the deck. For those of you guys who have done this job before on similar stratos boats, how far can I move the tray forward towards the bow?

    Thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated!

    (assumptions bade the 295 is very similar to 294)
    remove the front graph/switch panels and just look to be sure what your getting into. i found the camera/flash on my phone made it quite easy to see there was absolutely nothing under my front deck.
