I couldn't figure out where to put this, but you guys that have removable trolling motors, how do you handle the issue of the foot control? I leave mine unattached so it's easy to remove the whole shooting match to go play, but I hate having it move around on me while fishing. I need something like Dzus Fasteners or something that I can just unpin and pull, but I don't want anything to stick up through the deck when it's not there. What ya'll got?

I like to move mine around sometimes when i'm fishing, but don't like it moving when I'm running, etc. I put a bungee type rod strap over it. I stretch it over the base plate, but not over the top of the pedal. The foot control works like normal, and I just unhook the bungee strap when I want to move the pedal to the side, or remove the TM altogether.

Has anyone successfully installed one of those recessed troller pedal wells on an XTB? Doesn't seem to be room if I do say so myself but hopefully I'm wrong!
