Abstract
A two-position geared steering device for an electric trolling motor is provided. The steering device has a tiller attached to a sector drive gear. The sector drive is rotatably mounted by a bracket on a fixed part of the electric trolling motor engaging the two-part split shaft gear which is clamped to the motor shaft. The electric trolling motor steering device provides steering with rotation of the tiller in either a vertical or horizontal plane. The sector drive gear assembly allows repositioning the sector and the tiller to operate in either the horizontal and vertical planes. The steering device may be easily adapted to an existing trolling motor using a simple clamp assembly.
