Just wondering if anyone has ever recessed their TM pedal on their boat. I looks pretty easy to do. Just wondering if there are going to be any unforeseen problems under the deck I don't know about? I have a 1990 365V Ranger.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

I don't see any problem but just make sure you cut the hole right with a jig saw if to big you are SOL... Mine is built in and I love it you get rid of the (CAPTIN MORGAN) look and is alot better on the knees.

I installed 2 of these, both in 21' Chargers though. They are very easy to install but you definitely want to check for wiring or anything else that might be in the way before you cut. You can usually look at the underside of that area from inside your rod storage compartments with a flashlight. Very important though measure twice cut once! They are great once you do it you will want one on every boat from now on.
