Abstract: A combination steering attachment and stand for electric trolling motors to permit the more efficient use of low thrust electric trolling motors for steering a boat and to also provide a stand to set the trolling motor on when it is removed from the boat. The attachment includes two flanking plates that extend parallel to and alongside the electric motor and the propeller and remain in a fixed parallel relationship to the axis of rotation of the propellor to continually direct all of the motor thrust along the axis extending through the propeller. The flanking propellor plates also protect the propellor from hitting obstructions in the water.
