Abstract
A bracket for holding a universal transducer for use with a fishing or other boat, including a transducer assembly, having a transducer shaft, which brackets a transducer at its bottom end, while its upper end is connected either to the side of the boat, or onto the upper portions, such as the gear box, of the associated trolling motor, to provide the means for scoping the underwater typography through usage of a universal transducer, as available in the art. The upper end of the transducer shaft connects to a bracket, applied onto the bracket is a geared motor, such as a reversing motor, that can pivot the transducer in an approximate 360-degree direction. The identified bracket mount can secure directly to the side of the boat, in which case the mount separates, for removal of the transducer assembly, or its application therein, in preparation for usage, or the bracket mount may secure to the underside of the trolling motor gear box or housing, and be simultaneously operative in conjunction with the maneuvering of the trolling motor, during its usage, or when positioned into a nonusage location upon the surface of the associated boat.
