ABSTRACT:
The arrangement and receptacle storing the prop wrench and spare prop nut allow the fisherman to store the necessary tools to quickly replace a prop on a trolling motor on the spot. The prop wrench has three principal components--the prop wrench base, the prop pins, and the prop wrench cap. The prop wrench base has storage compartments to store the spare prop pins, which are secured in place by the prop wrench cap. Both the prop wrench and the spare prop nut are stored in the housing. The housing has preformed molded recesses which correspond, respectively, to the shape of the prop wrench and the prop nut. The spare prop nut and the prop wrench are locked into place within the housing by a lip on the prop wrench base that snaps into a locking relationship with the snap fit on the housing, and is further secured by two tabs located opposite the snap fit within the recess and above the prop wrench assembly. The housing performs its normal function of support for the trolling motor while also providing a handy location to store the equipment described.
