ABSTRACT:
A pedal operated control mechanism for controlling the direction of travel of a fishing boat. In order to remain at a location convenient to the fisherman, the pedal is mounted on a bracket arm which rotates with the boat seat. The pedal has a control wire which enters a stationary control housing and which raises and lowers a pair of lever arms as the wire extends and retracts. The lever arms raise and lower a ring which in turn causes extension and retraction of a main control cable in order to change the direction of the trolling motor. A sliding brush assembly provides continuous electrical connection between rotating conductor wires on the seal assembly and stationary conductor wires which apply current to the trolling motor.
