Abstract: A trolling motor extension handle bracket for attaching any sufficiently rigid member having a substantially circular cross-section to the handle or shaft of a trolling motor. The bracket has a pivot end and a handle receiving end. The pivot end is pivotally connected to a clamping assembly clamped to the trolling motor. The receiving end has a first semicircular channel formed therein, the channel being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket. A second semicircular channel is also formed therein perpendicular to the first channel. Either channel is capable of receiving the tubular member which will serve as the trolling motor extension handle. Structures such as broom handles, dowel rods, pipes, and conduit may be utilized as the trolling motor extension handle.

Abstract: A folding transom for a boat having a trolling motor. The folding transom having an "engaged position" and a "retracted position". The transom including a motor mounting bracket, a pair of parallel horizontal legs, having first and second ends, each leg being attachable to a boat at the first end, a pair of "L" shaped members, maintained in parallel relationship, each of which is rotatably attached at one end of the "L" shaped member to the second end of a horizontal leg by a thumb screw for locking the "L" shaped member into an engaged position and on the other end of the "L" shaped member to the motor mounting bracket.
