Abstract:
A visual direction guide for a fishing boat trolling motor to enable a fisherman or other operator positioned remotely in the boat from the trolling motor to visually determine the direction of propulsion of the trolling motor so the operator can steer the motor even when the view from the operator of the trolling motor is visually obstructed by another fisherman, chair, or other object. The visual direction guide has a support shaft, a visual indicator located at the top of the support shaft, and mounting apparatus to secure the support shaft to the trolling motor, so that the visual indicator can be seen by the operator above any visual obstruction to determine the direction of propulsion of the trolling motor to remotely steer the trolling motor. The visual indicator can include a vane, and can include lights. The support shaft can telescope, fold down, or be removed for storage.

Claim (Index 10):
