I have a I/O so the filter is way under were you can't even see it.
I agree with RP, its your choise! I don't no if you like to sit most of the time or stand?? But i like to stand alot! So I have installed a flush mount plate on the floor and now when I want the seat out the way I just pull it out and put in cabin. Now I am free to rom about. When I want to sit I just put back in the hole and i sit. Takes about 3 seconds to go to and from having a seat.
I have been thinking about putting a couple of more plates in the floor so I can move the seat to a different location for better fishing if needed??

Good Luck
