Idea for remote controlled docking of a fishing boat.

Think about how hard it is for one person to dock a boat in a boat landing.  Now, think now how easy it is for a person to change channels on a TV with a remote control.  How about a remote controlled motor for docking a boat?
The person could be on land and maneuver the boat ready for putting on the boat trailer.  The motor for this could be the trolling motor that was previously used for fishing, now remotely controlled by a TV remote-like device.  This might be particularly helpful for older or disabled boaters.  The person could boat into the docking area, tie up, and go get the car and trailer, then remotely control the boat onto the trailer.
Possible Start Building Blocks -
  • Existing concepts for remote controlled train switching engine, auxiliary bridge on boat, airplane docking, TV remote controls, remote controlled model boats, etc.

  • USPTO Class/Subclasses for more ideas - 114/255, 43/26.1
