ABSTRACT:
A steering control (10) is foot operated to provide directional control for a trolling motor (72). The control (10) is mounted by a plate (18) to a boat (74). A foot pedal (12) is pivotally supported by a member (16) which is connected to a plate (18). An electrical switch (28) is mounted on the toe portion of the foot pedal (12). A guide rod (32) is mounted at one end to an upright member (20) which is mounted on the toe end of the foot pedal (12). The second end of the guide rod (32) is connected to one end of a bracket (50). The opposite end of the bracket (50) is clamped to a vertical shaft (70) of the trolling motor (72). When an operator causes the foot pedal to pivot, the rod (32) is moved longitudinally to move the bracket (50) and thereby cause the shaft (70) to pivot thus providing steering control for the trolling motor (72).
