Who made the round trolling motor mounting plates shown below in Figures 1 and 2?

Try using an image search to identify the round trolling motor mounting plates seen in Figures 1 and 2.

Thanks for the help. I have tried unsuccessfully to find this type of mount in any search engine. I have never seen one like this before.

An image search using DuckDuckGo suggests to me it may have been sold by Attwood Marine.

The search argument used to find the images was “Attwood Marine Trol-Lock Motor Mount.” It seems the manufacturer name and model were already known. :-)
