ABSTRACT:
An integrated control mechanism for an electric fishing motor (10). The electric fishing motor (10) has a motor tube (11) with a propulsion unit (12) secured to one end and a control head (16) mounted on the other end. An articulation assembly (35) has a frame portion (36) secured to the housing (28) of the control head (16) and a bracket portion (38) attached to the motor tube (11). The assembly (56) which effects the pivotal connection between the frame and bracket portions (36, 38) also accommodates selectively positioning the control head (16) radially about the axis (58) of the motor tube (11). A tiller (60) is secured to the frame portion (36), and an on/off switch (89) is operatively connected between the frame and bracket portion (36, 38) such that vertical manipulation of the tiller (60) articulates the assembly (35) to actuate the on/off switch (89). Rotation of the tiller (60 ) about its own axis actuates a rotary switch assembly (125) to operate a speed control circuit (150) whereby to select the desired speed for the electric fishing motor, and movement of the tiller (60) within a horizontal plane turns the propulsion unit (12) about the axis (58) of the motor tube (11) to steer the electric fishing motor (10). A "dead-man" arrangement (96), and a "dead-man" override (101, 103) are also provided.
