Story Behind the Invention
Inventor Timmy Wood of Monticello, AR has created a mounting bracket for a foot control switch used with a trolling motor on a fishing boat. It is intended to keep the switch at the same position in the boat and provide for easy access.
A common piece of equipment used while fishing from a boat is a trolling motor. This motor allows the fisherman to silently move along a lake while fishing. These motors are typically controlled by a foot mounted switch that sits in the bottom of the boat. However, these switches tend to slide around and become misplaced. When an individual needs to activate the switch, he or she must spend time to locate it, and then place it in the proper location where it can be easily accessed. Any acceleration or movement causes the switch to move, thus repeating the entire process in a frustrating manner. Inventor Wood has created a means by which a foot control switch for a trolling motor can be secured to a fixed location and remain easily accessible for use.
This clever new invention keeps the foot control switch in the same location at all times. The device swivels 360. It makes the switch easy to find and use. It prevents the switch from sliding or flying around a boat. The invention is easy to manufacture. The use of the Swivel Bracket for Trolling Motor Foot Controller provides fishermen the ability to easily find and use a trolling motor foot switch, in a manner that is quick, easy, and effective.
