    Has anyone installed a recessed tray for a minkota foot controll on a ZX200?

    My Boat is a early 2007 model before the recessed tray was standard. Anything under that front part of the deck that I should be concerned about before a cut a hole in it. I'm a little scared! What model tray looks and will work the best? Thanks Rick

    I was wondering the exact same thing. I have an '07 ZX190 that didn't come with the recessed tray either. Seriously considering doing the same thing.

    I know everyone who has one loves it, but I can't cut a hole in my boat and I prefer the glassed in recessed foot pedal. I think i'm gonna continue to "Captian Morgan" it until I get a new I class.

    I think it also depends on how much fishing you do at one time..I have my boat at my cabin, so I usually fish a few hours then had back home and relax for a bit & eat before heading back out..

    If you fish all day long, then maybe adding an aftermarket reccessed pedal would pay off in terms of helping against fatigue...

    I added a comfort-troll to my ZX225 and it is one of the best upgrades that I have ever done on any boat. It makes a huge difference if you are on the water for long lengths of time. The actual installlation is a bit scary as most have pointed out but it really is not that much of a big deal. I went with the comfort-troll because it was recommended by all those that have installed it and it is metal.

    I give it a big

    Had dealer install a tray when I bought the rig...insisted on braces under it... I always suggest some simple treated wood braces or such because fiberglass work is as costly as it gets... I plan to have this rig at least 10 years...very happy after 8 months and 40 trips or so...enjoy the comfort... after 24 years of standing on 1 foot for 8-9 hours...its been wonderful...
