ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling a trolling motor, comprising a rotatable, foot-operated bearing assembly operationally connected to the trolling motor so that rotational motion of the bearing assembly is transferred to produce rotation of the trolling motor. The apparatus is configured so that, regardless of whether the trolling motor is mounted to the front or the back of the boat, the boat will move in the direction of rotation of the bearing assembly. In one embodiment of the invention, the bearing assembly may support a swivel chair whereby rotation of the chair results in rotation of the trolling motor.
