I have a G3 1544 jon boat and have been wanting to put a foot controlled trolling motor on the front of it, it has just the regular front deck on it.

If I put a foot controlled motor on it the control is at a weird angle due to the floor sloping down and would not be comfortable at all, It looks as i if I need to raise the middle bench.
Has anyone put a foot controlled motor on the bow without a lot of modification?

I thought about getting a milk crate to set on the bench to sit on but that seems like a accident waiting for a time and place to happen.
 
I always say that there is nothing level on a boat. Its position is dynamic depending on load distribution. Are you testing with the boat int he water or sitting on the trailer?
 
Yes the boat is sitting on the trailer, and I don't think I can use a pin pedestal because of the livewell in the bench.
