Panther Trolling Motor Foot Control Tray 559815 for Minn Kota and MotorGuide Motors
The Panther Trolling Motor Foot Control Tray (559815) is a recessed deck mount that lets anglers fish in comfort while streamlining the boat's deck. Instead of a foot pedal sitting exposed on top of the deck where it can catch feet, gear, or lines, this tray recesses the pedal so it mounts flush, leveling out the foot control and reducing back and foot strain during long days on the water. It is built from high-impact, UV-resistant, high-density polyethylene that is color-molded all the way through, so there is no paint layer to chip, fade, or need touch-up over time.
The tray fits all Minn Kota and MotorGuide foot-control trolling motors and is designed as a drop-in deck installation, with a forward-taper interior that keeps the pedal level and channels water out through a 3/8 inch ID x 8 inch flexible vinyl drain tube. Everything needed for the install is included in the box: installation instructions, a cutting template, the drain tube, and mounting hardware. Inside cavity dimensions are 9-1/2 inches wide x 13-1/2 inches long x 4-1/2 inches deep, giving enough clearance for the foot pedal to sit recessed and level with the surrounding deck surface.
