ABSTRACT:
A trolling plate assembly includes a plate structure pivotally carried on a supporting bracket on a propulsion unit. The plate structure is spring biased toward a downward or deployed position. Ears on the plate structure provide tracks on which followers are entrained with the followers seating in recesses at the end of each track to retain the plate structure horizontal. The rollers are biased into track and into recess engagement. A control permits the user to disengage the rollers from the recesses to allow downward deployment of the plate structure. A modified trolling plate includes a pair of adjustably biased rollers each for rolling contact with a trolling plate ear for seating in multiple recesses therein. Each recess is associated with a different plate position.
