    Hydra Sports 196 Recess Trolling Motor

    Anyone out there done this? I really want to do mine but would like some insight before I cut a hole.

    I see this is an old post. Did you ever cut a hole and add recess for foot pedal? If so how did it go? I also have a 196. just curious what motor and prop your running and what speed your getting out of it? I have been trying a few different props out.

    Nope, I never could find anyone that had done it so I didn’t want to chance it. Im running a Johnson 175 with a 22 Raker. Not a speed demon but rides better than any boat I’ve ever owned. Loaded down with full tank of gas, full live wells, and two men and gear 57 mph. By myself it’ll run 61 mph.

    Plenty of room for recessed trolliing motor pedal. Running a 24 raker, and 25 renegade on mine.

    I put a recessed trolling motor tray for my Ultrex on my 94 Hydrasports LS 205. Plenty of room. I can add picture if needed.

    You guys think I can get the same recess tray for my boat? Would I have enough clearance? I have a Motor guide xi5.IMG_5126.JPG
