ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for mounting a radar antenna to a support structure such as a mast (M) includes a generally U-shaped frame (12). A proximal end (14) of the frame is adapted for securement to the support structure while the frame extends generally horizontally outward from the support structure and terminates at a closed distal end (16). A radar antenna mounting platform assembly (20) has a longitudinal axis (L) and is pivotally connected between the support structure and the distal end of the frame at a position within the U-shaped frame. The device includes means (60) for selectively pivoting the radar platform bi-directionally about its longitudinal axis. The platform is preferably pivotable at least 20.degree. in either direction from horizontal to define an overall arc of at least 40.degree.. The pivoting means is remotely operable, e.g., from the deck or cockpit of the boat, and maintains the antenna mounting platform at a select angular orientation and prevents angular movement of the platform in response to movement of the support structure.
