Hello Doug, thanks for reaching out. We do not have a template for exactly where to cut. I have included a snip from the instruction for the # BLU33FR base plate that shows roughly where to trace and cut. This and the installation video I linked below will be the only real resources we have for this. I have also linked the manufacturer instruction manual for you below. The second to last page goes over the permanent baseplate cable installation.
Feel free to reach out and reply below with any other questions.

Hey Doug, were you able to get the Blue Ox base plate cut and the cable jack installed using the instructions and video? Knowing how that went could help others working with the same setup.
