ABSTRACT:
An attachable steering handle for an electric trolling motor that includes a swivel, an adaptive shaft connected to the swivel, and a control handle shaft connected to the swivel. The attachable steering handle is connectable to the trolling motors by connecting the adaptive shaft to the motor shaft and to the motor control housing. The control handle shaft is positionable between an upper position and lower position, that are generally parallel to the motor shaft. The swivel includes two disk shaped spacers with a center hole in each spacer. A bolt is passed through the holes in the spacers and the head of the bolt is welded to one spacer. The bolt has a threaded end that protrudes out of the hole in the second spacer. A generally T-shaped handle having a threaded nut on the working end is provided to mate with the threaded end of the bolt. The handle is used to lock and unlock the swivel when the user adjusts the position of the control handle shaft with a soft handle on its distal end.
