ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an auxiliary steering handle apparatus adaptable to most boat mounted trolling motors. The apparatus is comprised of two main components, the pivotal telescopic handle or lever and a split gear housing or case. The pivotal handle or lever is both rotatable and telescopically extendable. Bevel and pinion gears are provided, with the bevel gear split into two halves for clamp mounting to the rotatable steering column of an existing electric trolling motor. Manual rotation of the handle facilitates rotation of the pinion gear and bevel gear, thus axial rotation of the motor is achieved in a full 360 continuous or by-directional rotation. Electrical commutation located within the case and lever, provides sliding electrical contact between a battery and the electric trolling motor.
