Abstract: A user input assembly for controlling operation of a trolling motor assembly including a propulsion motor is provided herein. The user input assembly includes a support plate and a foot pedal defining a top surface that is configured to receive a user's foot thereon. The foot pedal is pivotably mounted to the support plate. A deflection sensor is in communication with the foot pedal and is configured to detect an angle of orientation of the foot pedal and output a signal corresponding with the angle of orientation of the foot pedal. The signal is receivable by a controller that is configured to control a direction of the propulsion motor of the trolling motor assembly. A feedback device is coupled with the foot pedal and configured to, in response to pivotal movement of the foot pedal about the first axis, provide a resistance force to the pivotal movement.

Abstract: Systems, assemblies, and methods for conveniently operating marine devices associated with a watercraft are provided herein. An example system includes a controller, a sensor module, and a marine device. The controller is configured to receive a user input indicating a desired action via the sensor module and transmit a signal to the marine device to cause the marine device to operate in a particular manner. The sensor module may include one or more motion sensors, and the controller may be configured to filter unintentional movement from the raw motion data sensed by the sensor module, such as due to movement of the watercraft floating on the surface of the water. Thus, the system may enable convenient and intuitive control over various marine devices associated with the watercraft.

Abstract: A trolling motor assembly may be pivotable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The trolling motor assembly may include a trolling motor subassembly comprising a shaft and a motor coupled thereto. The subassembly may be pivotable about a base via a linkage. The linkage may include a first arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first arm is coupled with the base, and the second end of the first arm is coupled with the shaft. A first biasing element may be coupled with the linkage so that the biasing element is configured to apply a first force to the linkage that biases the linkage in a raising direction from the stowed position in order to assist a user in deploying the trolling motor into the water.

Abstract: An example trolling motor assembly that includes a shaft with an attached trolling motor and a foot pedal is provided herein. Deflection of the foot pedal causes a corresponding rotation in a direction the trolling motor is oriented. A feedback device is coupled with the foot pedal and configured to provide at least one of haptic, audible, or visual feedback to indicate to a user that rotation of the direction of the trolling motor has stalled or is about to stall. In some cases, the feedback device may be present in a handheld remote control device. Example determination that rotation of the direction of the trolling motor has stalled or is about to stall may occur when the user directed rotation input and the actual orientation of the trolling motor are out of sync and/or when a current draw from a motor for rotating the trolling motor is too large.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence can be used to provide accurate realignment functionality for various different marine devices on a watercraft. A system is provided for aligning one or more marine devices, where one or more controllers are configured to receive marine data from the marine device and receive secondary data from one or more second devices. An expected alignment characteristic is determined based on the secondary data and a corresponding deviation therefrom is determined based on marine data. In response to determining the deviation, the controllers are configured to cause at least one of a notification indicating a misalignment of the marine device to be provided to a user, a data adjustment to marine data so as to produce recalibrated marine data, or a physical adjustment to be applied to the marine device so as to subsequently receive realigned marine data from the marine device.
