    has anyone cut into the deck of their 2006 285????

    I want to put a recessed tray, but not sure what may lie underneath. Has anyone else with a 2006 285 done this? if so, did you run into any problems??? stringers?? wires????

    This may not help but I just put one in my 1998 288 which is basically the same boat. The only thing I had to cut into was the plastic in the front storage compartment. You could always pull the front switch panel off stick a camera in their and snap a few pics to see. Thats what I did. Let me know if you have any questions they are easy to install took me about an hour that first cut is a horrible feeling though.

    It's clear...If you still have doubts just remove the graph or panel from the front hold a digital camera down there and take a picture.

    I put a recessed pedal in my 02 185 and it is the same deck as yours.

    Wierd, my 06 must be a later model than yours. It has the recessed tray in there already. It doesn't appear to be aftermarket either.

    It didn't come standard in '06, so your may have been a dealer add on that they did themselves or you may be correct that yours is a late model. you should be able to tell from your Hull ID # when it was manufactured.
