installing pro control on my stratos?

[jim4596]

hey guys, im installing a pro control in my 2005 20'stratos pro xl next week. anyone that has done this let me know if it will interfere with the front storage box. also is there a brace under there or anything that i need to know about before doing it? i cant wait to get all my boat work done for the winter. im ready to go fishing.

Mine has one in it that resembles the Flat Foot. No problems with the front storage. But anyway, you should measure, measure, and then re-measure to be sure.

Jim,
I just did my 201. I measured 4" from the front control panel and did cut into my storage box a little bit. I didn't have any bracing under my front deck. It took approx 45 minutes from start to finish.

i wonder if thats cause thats the old body style stratos. maybe some guys with the new style will chime in and give me the measurements of how far back from the bow panel theirs is and if it interferes with the front compartment.

thanks for the pic though.

I may be able to get to my boat Saturday. If I can I'll take some measurements for you.
