So this is what I came up with. 2 hemostats and a tip off a multi tip screwdriver. I might as well add the part where I was hammering the tip in with the handle and it flew overboard... ghetto fabulous but it got us through the day.
Since I am not the only one here that occasionally gets a case of the dumba$$, share some of your stories to make me feel better about myself.

I did the same thing. The only deference was I was pulling away from my driveway heading towards Belle Chasse Hwy. I looked in my review mirror and saw the trolling motor on the wrong side of the boat then it disappeared. I had set the trolling motor on the bow of the boat and forgot to secure it to the quick disconnect before leaving. Just like you, I am glad the motor fell inside the boat or it would have been a bad day.
