ABSTRACT:
A mounting device for a marine transducer allows for adjustment of the angle of the transducer. This allows a directional transducer to look forwardly beneath the water surface for potential perilous passages or schools of fish, as well as to look downwardly for purposes such as depth determination. The mounting consists of a tubular housing which forms a watertight sea chest or wet box. The housing serves to store and protect the electronic transducer. A hinged end piece on the bottom of the housing serves to mount the transducer as well as provide the capability of angular inclination and, if desired, provide a drag-free flush mount. A powered reciprocating rod is provided to change the angle of the transducer. Indicators may be provided for displaying the inclination angle.
