Patent number: 12689277Abstract: A motor assembly for rotating an underwater mounted device around a troll motor shaft. The motor assembly may have a hub fix part, a top ring, a gear ring having an inner surface covered with a plurality of gear teeth, a bottom ring, a motor mounting plate, a stepper motor attached to the motor mounting plate, a stepper motor shaft rotated by the stepper motor and a spur gear pinion attached to the stepper motor shaft. The hub fix part, top ring, gear ring, bottom ring and motor mounting plate are configured, when positioned on top of each other, to form an inner chamber in the motor assembly. The stepper motor may rotate the spur gear pinion inside the chamber. The spur gear pinion may engage with the plurality of gear teeth of the gear ring to thereby rotate the motor assembly about an axis of the troll motor shaft.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2024Date of Patent: July 21, 2026Inventor: Terry Vance

Publication number: 20250182728Abstract: The present invention is directed to a mounting device for a fish finding apparatus and, more particularly, to a motorized mounting device which includes an adjustable length pole used to mount a sonar transducer or other device an angler may be interested in mounting to the end of the pole that enters the water. The pole is used to spin the transducer or other apparatus in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction with a switch that is adapted to be operated by the angler's foot or a wireless remote. The mounting device is configured to be secured to a boat or mounted on a boat troll motor whereby the adjustable pole is secured and spins independent of the troll motor shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2025Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventor: Terry VANCE
