I went with Ricky's "da ducer" I just installed it, and it really looks fine. Unfortunately I'm going out of town for a week so haven't put it through its paces yet. I don't foresee any problems at all. I made one stupid mistake during installation. There is an aluminum "box" that is mounted on the gunnel of my Tracker 175. Well, l I overthought this very simple task. It took me about 4 days on and off thinking about it. I had pictured my gunnel as being made out of fiberglass and I just wasn't sure about the best way to drill throughl the fiberglass and then securely attach the "box." Finally the light bulb came on and I realized the gunnel was made of aluminum. It took about 5 minutes to drill a small pilot hole and screw in 4 self tapping screws. My Mother must have dropped me on my head more than once when I was a baby.
