Recessed trolling motor tray install in ZX200 - questions
My 2006 ZX200 does not have a recessed tray and I want to install one. I found the post on here where the guy supported his deck with 2x4s due to cutting through the main cross member at the front of his deck. I'd really like to install mine as far forward as possible but that means cutting though that support and 4 or 5 more smaller cross members. Here are my questions: 1) I can come back about 5.5" from the graph hole on the bow and install behind the main cross member but will this be too far back to use with the seat? Most factory installs are as far forward as possible. 2) If I do cut through all the cross members (installing as far forward as possible), does the deck need any additional supports or does the tray take care of that once its screwed down? I'm looking at the aluminum Comfort Troll. Thanks
