Abstract
The instant invention is a video camera assembly which is adapted to be mounted in a thru-hull fitting so as to allow for safe and dependable viewing in various environments. A primary embodiment of the invention allows for directing the focus of the camera toward alternative fields of view by incorporation of the device within a conventional thru-hull fitting found on most boats. The camera includes a modified transducer body with a self-contained miniaturized camera available for coupling to a television or video monitor in a safe and protected location.
