ABSTRACT:
A nautical instrument that can be repetitively mounted to and removed from a surface within a ship without the use of tools or other instruments. The nautical instrument incorporates a mounting system that achieves slidable locking engagement of the nautical instrument to a bulkhead plate that is permanently secured to the surface of the ship. In one embodiment, the invention comprises: a housing containing a gauge; a back plate connected to the housing and having a rear surface; a bracket assembly protruding from the rear surface of the back plate, the bracket assembly comprising a downwardly extending overhang section that forms first and second channels between the overhang section and the rear surface of the back plate, the channels opposing one another in an angled orientation that diverges from the top to the bottom of the nautical instrument; a bulkhead plate comprising means for securing the bulkhead plate to a surface of a boat; a mounting plate assembly connected to a front surface of the bulkhead plate in spaced relation, the mounting plate assembly having first and second angled edges that substantially corresponds to the angled orientation of the channels; and wherein the mounting plate assembly is adapted so that the first and second edges slidably insert into the first and second channels of the bracket assembly respectively when the rear surface of the back plate is positioned adjacent to and above the front surface of the bulkhead plate and the back plate is lowered, thereby effectuating mating engagement of the mounting plate assembly and the bracket assembly.
