Abstract: A boat mounted hunting blind to aid hunters in hunting game, particularly water fowl; wherein, at least two pontoons are connected together, preferably in parallel orientation, by way of a bridging platform. Above the platform there is hingedly attached a collapsible canopy, preferably camouflaged in design, within which the hunter may be concealed in a seated or standing position while scouting and shooting game. Above the canopy there is removably attached a detachable roof, preferably camouflage in design, for providing weather protection for the hunter and further concealment.

Abstract: A trolling motor steering linkage system with motor steering and speed controls mounted adjacent to a central or midship portion of a boat for ease of one-hand operability. The steering linkage system is mounted to a top surface or hull of a boat via a propeller tube, secured to a transom which spans the width of the craft and provides support for the propeller tube. A motor control head controls the direction and the speed of the trolling motor with an integrally attached grip throttle. A roll bar is attached to the motor control head, which roll bar is supported at a raised elevation from the mounting surface of the boat by roll bar stantions. The roll bar is further connected to a linkage rod, which linkage rod is connected to the propeller tube for rotating the propeller tube, with attached trolling motor and propeller, and thereby steers the boat.
