ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a practical solution to the problem of failure of a pedal operated steering control for a fishing boat trolling motor. The emergency controller has a pair of links inner ends of which mount on the trolling motor support assembly and outer ends of which are secured to a rod. The rod is generally situated at its lower end parallel to a motor mount conduit which supports the electric drive motor and has a handle at its upper end for steering. When mounted on the trolling motor assembly, the emergency controller of the invention provides a simple steering means and may be so mounted while the fishing boat is in the water.
