Sorry for the delayed response. I got distracted by work. Minn Kota MKA-55 Stabilizer. My boat is wrapped up for the winter, so I cannot measure the exact size of the plate. It's rather simple, in front the plate needs to extend no further than the edge of the rub rail. At the back it needs...

I don't have any stand alone pictures of the mounting plate. The plate is necessary on the 208 to get the trolling motor shaft at least 1" cleared of the rub rail. Basically 3/8 thick aluminum plate that is through bolted to the deck of the anchor locker (2 bolts). Then mounted the Minn Kota...

The tray was fabricated from flat sheet stock using a bending brake (Harbor Freight Special). Very tough learning curve if you haven't bent sheetmetal before. I picked up that skill in aircraft mechanics' school.

It's the port and starboard locker area and not the centerline bilge. The batteries are about a foot above the "bilge" and not likely to have any contact with water. No cutting of fiberglass is needed. The battery tray was probably the trickiest part. It needs to be strong enough to hold a 25...
