I've got a Comfortroll D-Lux recessed trolling pedal tray on the way to replace the factory recessed pedal tray in my 2010 model.
I've never been a fan of taking a saw to my boat but I'm going to go for it.
I was perfectly happy with my MK Ulterra but I've decided to by a couple of Bird units and wanted the link. Being MK doesn't offer link in the 36V 45" Ulterra - I bought an Ultrex (thanks Tim Powell Fastbass Marine for the great deal & crazy fast shipping).
I've used it one time, the trolling motor is great but the crane stance is not going to work!
But yea, I still don't like the idea of cutting the deck!
