No worries Bigeasy1. I stopped using the speech feature for texting on my phone for the same reason. I might put a second Scotty base where the rodholder was or as Captain Chuck suggests, put a sturdy plate-backed rodholder there again and use the rodholder base that Scotty sells.
First things first, I have to try the one I mounted. Was out in the Straight of Georgia yesterday in some serious chop/rollers. Not the best for trolling but the old Seacraft loved running over the top. It seemed that fast was better. Just put down the tabs (and the throttle).
