Abstract

The present invention relates to a trolling motor and related system thereof. More particularly, a system designed to address the limitation of existing trolling motor applications. The trolling motor system includes a control and deployment system. The remote deployment is designed for rearward propulsion, with no reference for steering as the motors are in a fixed state. The present invention also implements automatic deploying and stowing trolling motors, and brackets for ease of deployment and stow. The control system can be positioned at the row of a boat or a remote device and designed for various commands for the ease of use for an operator.

1 . A trolling motor control and deployment system, comprising:
 a pair of trolling motors;   trolling motor control apparatus;   trolling motor deployment apparatus; and   trolling motor deployment bracket.   
     
     
         2 . The pair of trolling motors of  claim 1  is mounted at the stern of a boat. 
     
     
         3 . The trolling motor control apparatus of  claim 1  is positioned at the bow of a boat, or on a remote device. 
     
     
         4 . The trolling motor of  claim 1  comprising: a motor with a propeller; and a motor controller. 
     
     
         5 . The motor controller of  claim 4  comprises: means for commanding the operation of the motor; and means to receive and decode commands transmitted by remote devices. 
     
     
         6 . The operation of the motor of  claim 5  includes speed control, direction control, and other settings as needed. 
     
     
         7 . The remote devices of  claim 5  can be either a hand-held device or a foot pedal. 
     
     
         8 . The transmission means of  claim 5  can be either wired means or wireless means. 
     
     
         9 . The trolling motor deployment apparatus of  claim 1  is charged with electric or gas. 
     
     
         10 . The deployment brackets of  claim 1  allows the trolling motors of  claim 1  to be deployed or stowed. 
     
     
         11 . The method of deploying the trolling motors of  claim 1  comprises steps of: releasing safety lock; starting the deployment apparatus of  claim 1 ; and sliding the trolling motors of  claim 1  off.
