[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 481680, member: 22613"] Nothing wrong with trimming out that access hole, just leave enough meat to hold the panel on. Instead of cutting a giant hole for the rods, I would instead grab a good hole saw and make a line of holes, then put some rubber edge trim on the inside to keep the aluminum from scuffing up your rods. Would look a lot nicer, and not compromise the structure of your deck plate, which can have quite a bit of stress with the trolling motor pulling on it. [/QUOTE]
