A mounting assembly for improved latching of a watercraft trolling motor that includes a shaft assembly. The mounting assembly includes a pivot joint configured to be fixed relative to the watercraft. The mounting assembly further includes a swinging bracket assembly having: (a) a swinging bracket having a first end, a second end and a length, the first end being configured for attachment to the shaft assembly and the second end being rotatably attached to the pivot joint; and (b) a latch pin assembly including an elastic element and a latch pin mounted to the swinging bracket. The mounting assembly still further includes a stationary bracket configured to be fixed relative to the watercraft and having a protuberance and a sloped surface receiving the latch pin. Inadvertent removal of the latch pin from a sliding, latched relationship with the sloped surface is obstructed by the protuberance.

Trolling motor latching system

A downshaft assembly for supporting a motor assembly of a watercraft and for enclosing a cable of a transducer assembly fixed to the motor assembly. The downshaft assembly includes a base having an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a surface defining a hole extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface. The downshaft assembly also includes a nut and a grommet having a tapered portion at least partially disposed in the hole. The grommet is configured to receive the cable therethrough and the nut is positioned against the grommet and removably secured to the base, with the positioning of the secured nut compressing at least part of the tapered portion of the grommet against the surface defining the hole.

Sighting device mount

Systems and methods for a positioning device for alignment of archery sights are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, an assembly for mounting a bow sight to a bow may be disclosed. The bow sight may project a fixed sighting mark and a laser sighting reticle that may be aligned to orient a bow. The assembly may include: a mount that may be operable to attach to a riser of the bow, a translational block coupled to the mount that may be operable to align the fixed sighting mark along a sighting line. The translational block may further include: a first translational element that may be operable to adjust a location of the fixed sighting mark along a first axis of translation. The assembly may further include a rotational block that may be operable to align the laser sighting reticle along the sighting line. The rotational block may further include: a first angular element that may be operable to adjust a pitch of the bow sight to move a position of position of the laser sighting reticle about a first axis of rotation, wherein a center of rotation of the pitch is the fixed sighting mark, and a second angular element that may be operable to adjust a yaw of the bow sight to move the position of the laser sighting reticle about a second axis of rotation, wherein a center of rotation of the yaw is the fixed sighting mark.
