ABSTRACT:
A remote steering assembly kit for outboard trolling motors of the type having an elongated cylindrical drive shaft housing, a trolling motor at the top of the housing to drive a propeller at the bottom thereof, the cylindrical housing being pivotally mounted on a frame clamped to the stern or the bow of a boat. The remote steering assembly kit includes a mounting bracket which connects to the frame by the same pivot member which pivotally mounts the elongated drive shaft housing to the frame, or by use of an equivalent pivot pin or pivot bolt, a split ring coupling collar to secure around the elongated drive shaft housing for rotation thereof, the coupling collar being seated for rotation on the mounting bracket, a large diameter steering gear member positioned coaxially with the elongated drive shaft housing and bolted to the coupling collar or otherwise secured thereto in driving engagement therewith, a reversible electric motor with drive gear attached in mesh with the steering gear member, to rotate the steering gear member, coupling collar and cylindrical drive shaft housing, in opposite directions thereby steering the boat, and a switch to operate the motor connected to the motor by conductors long enough to enable placing the switch at any desired location in the boat remote from the trolling motor.
