Abstract
A height adjustable depth finder system is provided such that a user may easily raise and lower the height at which a depth finder display is located. Height adjustability may be provided by one or more supports, with at least one support actively driven. The one or more supports may telescope to provide height adjustability and are actively driven by an actuator that may include a wire feed motor or a rack and pinion. In the event of two supports, the two supports may be perpendicular (side-by-side) or parallel (front and back) with the longitudinal axis of the boat. The longitudinal axis of the boat generally forms a “V” line at the lowest part of the hull running from the bow to the stern of the boat.
