An apparatus for pivotally mounting an outboard fishing motor, such as a shaft-mounted submersible electric motor, on the bow of a fishing boat or the like for pivotal movement between an operative position wherein the motor is held in the water and a non-operative raised position. The apparatus comprises a pivotally mounted bracket for supporting the shaft of the motor, and a power control system including a reversible electric motor and cable arrangement for automatically and positively pivoting the fishing motor in either direction between its operative and non-operative positions.

Apparatus for pivotally mounting a fishing motor

An apparatus for pivotally mounting an outboard fishing motor, such as a shaft-mounted submersible electric motor, on the bow of a fishing boat or the like for pivotal movement between an operative position wherein the motor is held in the water and a non-operative raised position. The apparatus comprises an elongated mounting frame, a slide block carried by the mounting frame, and a bracket pivotally carried by the slide block for supporting the shaft of the motor. A power control system is provided which includes a reversible electric motor and cable arrangement for selectively translating the slide block in either direction, and a pivoting and lifting arrangement is included which serves to lift the outboard motor into its raised position overlying the mounting frame.

An apparatus for pivotally mounting an outboard fishing motor, such as a shaft-mounted submersible electric motor, on the bow of a fishing boat or the like for pivotal movement between an operative position wherein the motor is held in the water and a non-operative raised position. The apparatus comprises a pivotally mounted bracket for supporting the shaft of the motor, a semi-circular guide member fixedly positioned adjacent the bracket, a follower interconnecting the bracket and guide member, and a power control system including a reversible electric motor and cable arrangement for automatically and positively pivoting the fishing motor in either direction between its operative and non-operative positions by translating the follower along the guide member.
