ABSTRACT:
Any commercially-available, tiller-model electric outboard trolling motor, as for a bass boat, may be made easier and more convenient to steer by adding a control wheel about the vertical pivot shaft thereof for selective, continuous, eyes-off orientation by a user's foot or by a remotely-operated electric steering motor driving the wheel by its rim. A hub is mounted about the pivot shaft and the control wheel is rigidly joined to the hub, as by a plurality of spokes. The wheel and hub may be split for joining about the shaft without disassembly of the trolling motor head or propulsion unit from the shaft.
