Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to an adaptor that can be used to eliminate the gap present between the motor housing and the propeller in conventional trolling motors. Particularly, the disclosed adaptor comprises a first shell and a second shell that attach together and surround the base of the trolling motor propeller therebetween. As shown, the propeller blades extend from one or more apertures in the adaptor. The adaptor attaches to the trailing end of the motor housing and is maintained on the drive shaft through the use of one or more fasteners.
