ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mounting a transducer to the rearward surface of the transom of a boat including a suction cup of resilient material which is retained on the boat transom when pressed against it, the suction cup having an integral rearward extending boss portion, a bracket having a vertical portion affixed to the cup boss portion and having a lower, rearwardly extending arm and an upper forwardly extending arm, a fastening bracket secured to the lower arm providing means of attaching a transducer to the bracket so that the transducer is held in an upright position with the lower face of the transducer tilted at an angle with respect to the horizontal when the boat is in the water, the cup boss portion being flexible so that when the boat moves with speed the transducer is permitted to be pivoted rearwardly relative to the boat transom with the upper bracket arm portion engages the rearward surface of the cup to limit the pivotation so that the lower surface of the transducer never has a negative angle with respect to the horizontal regardless of the speed of the boat.
