Abstract: This invention relates to the field of carts on wheels to make it easier to carry a trolling motor and battery to operate the trolling motor from a store to the customer's boat at a pier. A compartment for the battery is provided at the lower part of the cart above and adjacent to the wheels and a receiving recess for the cylindrical motor housing is provided at the lower part of the cart just forward of the battery compartment. When the cart is pivoted rearwardly on the wheels, the battery compartment and battery thereon is above the wheels and rotated slightly to the rear thereof and the receiving recess for the motor housing and motor thereon is above the wheels and rotated slightly to the front thereof for relatively uniform distribution of the weight of those items to better balance the carrying weight.

Abstract: In a vehicle with a first operating mode in which all vehicle wheels have substantially no lateral movement on a road surface and a second operating mode in which at least some of the vehicle wheels have lateral movement on the road surface, and with an actuator capable of affecting vehicle yaw rate, a vehicle yaw rate control method comprising the steps of: measuring an actual vehicle yaw rate; measuring vehicle steering wheel position; in the second mode of operation, determining a desired yaw rate command linearly responsive to the measured steering wheel position; wherein the actuator is controlled to minimize a difference between the measured vehicle yaw rate and the desired vehicle yaw rate.
