ABSTRACT:
A kit includes apparatus for converting a normally remote controlled trolling motor such that the motor can be directly hand operated. The kit includes a gear mechanism which attaches to and cooperates with a directional control shaft associated with the trolling motor. An elongate transfer shaft is pivotably attachable near a lower end thereof to the trolling motor control shaft and has an outwardly extending handle near an upper end thereof for use by an operator. The transfer shaft cooperates with the gearing mechanism to rotate the directional control shaft of the trolling motor by movement of the handle by an operator. The kit may be quickly and easily retrofitted to a trolling motor after failure of remote control for the trolling motor without a fisherman having to disassemble the trolling motor or to come to shore and remove the trolling motor from the boat to effect repairs.
