ABSTRACT:
A rotatable platform is provided to support the chair of a bass fishing boat. The platform has the chair rotatably mounted at one end and includes a boat rest for positioning the feet of the fisherman at the other. The feet positioning end preferably includes a wedge-shaped footrest for one foot of the fisherman, adjacent to which is mounted a foot actuated control pedal and, in the preferred embodiment, the pedal controls electric trolling motor.
The entire platform is mounted on a pedestal fastened securely to the deck of the fishing boat. In one embodiment, the platform is rotatable about the pedestal by means of an electric motor and gear arrangement. The controls for the motor are preferably located on the wedge-shaped footrest of the platform such that they also may be foot actuated. The chair is rotatably mounted to the same housing that contains the electric motor and gearbox. While the platform is rotatable via the gearbox, the chair may be rotated independently of the platform if desired. The footrest portion of the platform also functions as a convenient mount for various fishing instruments, such as a depth finder, which will therefore always be easily seen by the fisherman.
