    Recessed Trolling Motor Tray

    Has anyone installed a recessed trolling motor tray in an Eagle 175? I was wanting to made sure it could be done without any problems.

    Pretty sure they have but you will need to look under your deck to make sure you have the room without cuttong any braces.

    Please keep us informed if you tackle the project. Seen them done on lots of Trackers but none that I know of on a Eagle 175.

    As long as you do not have a major support, wiring harness, etc. in the area you are wanting to put one, And you have the room you should be fine. The cutout size for our kit is 9-7/8"x19-1/8" Let me know if I can help out. MM

    I am going to do some checking and see if I can do it. It will be a few weeks I am recovering from back surgery. Thanks for the input.

    The only other problem is rods. I am not sure if there will be enough space for the tray and your rods.

    +1 on getting access to under deck to see whats going on, I would call G3 or dealer as well, if you cant get under there. You probably don't want to mess with modifying any aluminum braces in the way.

    I hope you can install recess they are a great benefit.

    My tray dimensions are on my sight trollwell.com.

    How important is the warranty to you? Might want to clarify that before you possibly void something (if it's any concern to you).
