Abstract
A trolling motor extension handle bracket for attaching any sufficiently rigid member having a substantially circular cross-section to the handle or shaft of a trolling motor. The bracket has a pivot end and a handle receiving end. The pivot end is pivotally connected to a clamping assembly clamped to the trolling motor. The receiving end has a first semicircular channel formed therein, the channel being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket. A second semicircular channel is also formed therein perpendicular to the first channel. Either channel is capable of receiving the tubular member which will serve as the trolling motor extension handle. Structures such as broom handles, dowel rods, pipes, and conduit may be utilized as the trolling motor extension handle.
