Abstract:
A universal boat motor mount for mounting and controlling an electric trolling motor. A mounting plank is detachably secured to spaced side gunnels of a small boat with a portion of the plank overhanging a side of the boat. The overhanging portion of the plank is provided with a motor mount bracket for mounting a trolling motor and the motor mount bracket is rotatable relative to the plank to steer the trolling motor. A steering drive is also secured to the plank and includes a steering coupling which couples the steering drive to the motor bracket for steering a trolling motor mounted on the bracket. A transmission control is also secured to the plank and includes a transmission coupling for coupling the transmission control to the electric trolling motor to switch the drive direction of the motor. A remote control, such as a hand operated control or foot control, is utilized for remotely controlling the steering drive and the transmission control.
