I was curious about cutting the aluminum on my G3 1756 SC
1. In the center is the plastic plate for the trolling motor outlet. It’s got about a baseball sized hole access under the deck. I was thinking about cutting the hole to rectangle off the circle for easier access.
Is it wise to do that?
2. I was also thinking about cutting a hole on the starboard (see pic) to slide the rod butts (he said butts!) under the bow for more security for the rods and additional room on the deck.
That’s a 23” space between starboard gunnel and trolling motor plug plate.
Is that wise?
Thanks
