US Patent 7285029 Support device for a trolling motor

A support device for a trolling motor is attachable to an arm of the trolling motor to provide a cushion between the arm and a deck surface of a boat. This cushion inhibits bouncing of the arm of the trolling motor in response to a boat traveling over rough water or being trailered from one location to another over roads. The support device is attachable to the arm of the trolling motor without additional fasteners, such as screws or clips. It is also movable to different positions along the length of the arm of the trolling motor, thus allowing more than one support device to be attached to the trolling motor mount.
