Aluminum Recessed Trolling Motor Foot Pedal Pan Tray - Black

Our review of this aluminum recessed trolling motor foot pedal pan tray finds it is a practical upgrade for anglers who need a durable, clean mounting solution. Made in the USA from.120 in aluminum, this pan tray is built to resist corrosion and everyday wear, with a black powder coat for UV resistance. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of fit and robustness: it is designed to accept Mini Kota (except Treva), Motorguide, Lowrance and Garmin trolling motors while offering thoughtful features like a drain hose and stainless steel cup hole that keep the pedal area tidy.

Key Features

• All-aluminum construction: The.120 in thick aluminum body provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant base that outlasts thinner plastic trays.
• Universal fit: Fits Mini Kota (except Treva), Motorguide, Lowrance and Garmin trolling motors so owners of common brands can upgrade without major modification.
• Powder coated finish: Black UV resistant paint helps prevent fading and adds a slip-resistant surface in the pedal area.
• Drain and hose included: A power/drain hole with a rubber hose keeps water out of the boat and directs it away from electronics and foot controls.
• Accessory fittings: Stainless steel cup hole and tool holders provide a neat place for a drink and small tools while fishing.
• Cutting template and hardware: The package includes a cutting template, black stainless screws and zip ties to simplify installation and achieve a clean cutout.

Who It's For

This pan tray is best for freshwater anglers and guides who use pedal-controlled trolling motors from the common manufacturers listed, and who want a heavy-duty mounting box that resists corrosion and hides wiring. The thick aluminum and included hardware make it a smart choice for boat owners planning a long-term installation rather than a temporary fix.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of the Mini Kota Treva model (this tray does not fit Treva) and buyers seeking a molded plastic tray or an ultra-lightweight solution for inflatable crafts where metal weight might be a concern.
