ABSTRACT:
The present invention prevents damage to the trolling motor and the mount by providing a shock-absorption system capable of lengthening to allow the motor assembly to pivot out of the path of an obstruction. Adjustable friction force maintains the clutch system assembly in its normal operating upright condition. When the trolling motor strikes an underwater object, the clutch friction is overcome and the clutch assembly lengthens, thus assuring that any damage is minimized.
