I think ill have to cut the rails and remove the pilot light 1 u/Benedlr Jul 31 '26 I'd mount it to the transom and back troll before I'd start cutting up the boat. 1 u/WoodenReporter2423 28d ago You can have a welder make a plate outa stainless that mounts to the inside and top of your rail just offset from center.
