Just wondering if it necesary to have the TM pedal screwed to the deck? On my boat (which I have only had for a year) it is screwed down "front and center". Not the most convienent place if I am feeling lazy and want to relax and sit down and fish!!!

On my previous boat, it was not screwed down and I could place it where I wanted it for the particular fishing style, side of the boat, etc. I would use one of the rod-savers on the deck to secure it when running high-speed, rough conditions, or trailering.

Any problems with doing this? Any insight on how you do it on your rig?

Thanks for any and all input - Rob
