Abstract
A mounting structure especially for electric outboard trolling motors that allows the motor and its supporting structure to pivot over a wide range if a submerged object is struck by the submerged motor. The mounting structure permits this release regardless of whether the boat is moving forward or in reverse. After the submerged object is passed, the mounting structure will automatically reset itself to the normal operating position.
