Garmin black box

I have a 21 Cougar FTD, Looking to install the Garmin black box to the center most forward locker FLOOR. Is it safe to drill there? Thanks for any help or insight

I believe that could expose moisture to stringers, foam, etc if using screws. I would mount it on the inside wall of that locker.

A second option is to apply some good industrial grade Velcro to the black box and it should hold pretty good to the carpet.

Mount it to a wall, not the floor. Drill your mounting holes, then fill them with silicone sealer before you put in the screws. Cheap insurance against moisture intrusion.

I just installed a black box in a Puma FTD and mounted it to the inside wall of the driver side rod box. It was very easy to mount and running the cables to the front was a breeze. Like above, I would not mount flat.
