You talk about nervous - Paul drilled a 4" hole in ours up front for access to the TM wiring. Our biggest problem was getting the trolling motor mounted and the rod holders placed where they didn't interfere with each other. He says it helps to have long arms and a helper (that would be me). I didn't do the drilling, but I did a lot of "come here and try this and come here and see if you can reach" before he drilled the first hole. All of the rod holder bases are accessible from inside the front compartments.
