  • Independent rotation control of sonar and trolling motor
    Patent number: 12761334
    Abstract: A combined sonar and motor assembly is provided. The combined sonar and motor assembly includes a sonar transducer assembly, a propulsion motor, a subassembly defining an opening therein, and a first shaft defining an axis. The sonar transducer assembly is attached to the subassembly, and the propulsion motor is attached to the shaft. The subassembly is configured to receive the first shaft within the opening so that the first shaft is rotatable relative to the subassembly to enable rotation of one of the sonar transducer assembly or the propulsion motor about the axis without rotating the other. The sonar transducer assembly and the propulsion motor are both configured to rotate about the axis.
