ABSTRACT:
A portable bracket for an electronic transducer used as a "fish-finder" and which is easily attached to and detached from the transom of a boat. The bracket includes a springy transom connector having opposed legs spring-pressed inwardly towards each other and configured to hook over the upper ledge of the transom of a boat, the legs pressing inwardly on opposed walls of the transom. An upright transducer mounting post is rigidly mounted to the outer leg of the transom connector and extends downwardly below the latter. A transducer clamp is rigidly mounted to the lower end of the mounting post and includes spring-loaded, opposed arms positioned to clamp onto and retain between them an electronic transducer in a depth-sensing position below the bottom of the boat. The legs of the transducer clamp are capable of separating slightly against spring pressure to absorb shock when the mounting post is forced rearwardly as when a submerged obstacle in the water is encountered.
