Baldwin Iron Works Recessed Trolling Motor Foot Pedal Pan Tray

In this review the Baldwin Iron Works Recessed Trolling Motor Foot Pedal Pan Tray is evaluated for anglers and boat owners who want a tidy, durable mounting area for their foot pedal controls. The bottom line: this all-aluminum pan gives a robust, corrosion-resistant home for most mini trolling motor foot pedals and keeps wiring and drain routing neat. It is best for people replacing a worn pedal cutout or upgrading to a flush, professional-looking installation, and the included template and hardware simplify the job.

Key Features

• All-aluminum.120 construction: Provides a thicker, stiffer pan than typical sheet metal replacements for long-term durability and resistance to flexing.
• Powder coated with black UV resistant paint: Helps the pan resist chipping and fading from sun exposure on active boats.
• Power hole with drain hose: Built-in drain routing keeps water out of the pedal area and allows wiring to be run neatly through the pan.
• Included cutting template and hardware: The supplied template, screws, rubber hose and zip ties speed installation and reduce the chance of cutting errors.
• Stainless steel cup hole and tool holders: Practical cutouts let users keep a cup or small tools handy without drilling additional holes.

Who It's For

This pan is aimed at anglers, tournament fishermen, and weekend boaters who use mini trolling motors from popular makers such as MotorGuide, Lowrance, Garmin and most Mini Kota models (except Treva). If you need a shallow, sturdy recess roughly 17.5 in by 10.5 in inside the box and about 3.75 in deep, this tray is a good match.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of the Treva Mini Kota pedal or anyone whose foot pedal or console dimensions fall outside the stated internal size. Also, if a factory-matched molded console is required for aesthetic reasons, a custom or OEM replacement may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Heavy.120 in aluminum construction for rigidity and reduced corrosion risk compared with thin panels.
• Black UV resistant powder coat gives a long-lasting finish suitable for marine exposure.
• Installation is made easier with the provided cutting template, screws, hose and zip ties.
• Integrated drain and cup/tool holders add practical convenience for day-to-day use.

Cons

• Does not fit Mini Kota Treva models, so verify compatibility before purchase.
• The 3.75 in depth is fixed and may not suit unusually deep aftermarket pedals or custom consoles.
