Abstract
An improved trolling motor mount is the subject of this invention. The motor mount comprises a slotted plate (4), threaded cylinders (13) and shafts (9). The trolling motor (3) is mounted on the slotted plate (4), which is fastened by shafts (9) to the threaded cylinders (13). Threaded cylinders (13) are mounted within the hull material of the boat (1). In preferred form, the shaft (9) is biased by a spring (14) within the threaded cylinder (13) such that the heads (10) of the shafts (9) hold the plate (4) against the side of the boat (1). In another embodiment, the shaft (9) is threaded and is held within the threaded cylinder (13) by a nut (21).
