ABSTRACT:
A trolling motor for a boat including collar sections mounting the motor to the boat, a shaft leading from the mounting collar sections to the foot, a foot adapted to be disposed beneath the surface of a body of water, such shaft being hinged along its length such that the foot may swing from its position for propelling the boat toward a horizontal position substantially out of the water when the boat is powered other than by the trolling motor. The foot includes an alignment skeg and deflection shield mounted on the nose of the foot and adapted to urge the foot toward a horizontal position when the boat is moving forwardly under power other than the trolling motor.
