ABSTRACT:
A transducer mounting bracket for mounting a sonar transducer of a fish locator on a boat transom has an elongated base formed from a thermoplastic resilient material and including a downwardly opening channel formed at an upper end dimensioned for engagement with a boat transom. An elongated conduit extends along a front face of the base and is secured for vertical adjustment within a pair of vertically spaced aligned mounting blocks. Thumb screws extend through each of the mounting blocks for clamping engagement with the conduit. An L-shaped bracket has a vertical leg portion secured at a lower end of the conduit and a horizontal leg secured to a solenoid transducer. A signal lead connected to the transducer extends through the interior of the conduit. In a second embodiment, the transducer mounting bracket includes a V-shaped weed deflector for preventing weeds from collecting on the transducer, a flexible boot provided on a top end of the conduit and in sealing relation with the transducer signal lead, and a pair of suction cup tipped clamping screws extending through the base for engagement with a boat transom.
