A trolling motor assembly may be pivotable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The trolling motor assembly may include a trolling motor subassembly comprising a shaft and a motor coupled thereto. The subassembly may be pivotable about a base via a linkage. The linkage may include a first arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first arm is coupled with the base, and the second end of the first arm is coupled with the shaft. A first biasing element may be coupled with the linkage so that the biasing element is configured to apply a first force to the linkage that biases the linkage in a raising direction from the stowed position in order to assist a user in deploying the trolling motor into the water.
