Abstract: A stern operatively mounted universal transducer for boat includes a mounting device, having upper and lower brackets, for securement to the boat, preferably its transom, the upper and lower brackets secure a drive cylinder, which when operative, lowers a drive rod for shifting a sonic transducer upwardly above the water, or downwardly into the water to scope the surrounding underwater typography. A pair of guide rods shiftably extend through the upper and lower brackets, and at their upper ends, secure to a motor and gear housing, the guide rods at their lower ends secure to a base plate. A transducer shaft extends into the motor housing which provides for its pivoting, and at its lower end, extends downwardly through the base plate, and secures a transducer mounting plate, to which the transducer is affixed, in preparation for its usage.

Abstract: A fish detection system including a trolling motor assembly, a transducer assembly, and a motor. The trolling motor assembly includes a shaft, a motor, and a propeller, the motor and propeller being mounted to the shaft. The transducer assembly includes a transducer for capturing underwater image information and a bracket for attaching the transducer of the transducer assembly to the shaft of the trolling motor assembly, the bracket defining an opening configured to receive the shaft. The motor is configured to rotate the transducer attached to the bracket relative to the shaft to provide an adjustable field of view of the transducer.

Abstract: A fish detection system including a transducer configured to provide image information for underwater locations, a directional member, and a light assembly. The directional member is member configured to move in conjunction with the transducer, the orientation of the directional member corresponding to a direction of the adjustable field of view of the transducer. The light assembly is configured to illuminate the directional member.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for mounting a fish detection system to a kayak. The mounting bracket includes a base configured to be secured to the kayak and a body that extends substantially perpendicular to the base. The body includes a wall that forms a substantially U-shaped hook and a sidewall that forms a substantially L-shaped support along a center line of the wall, wherein the sidewall extends substantially perpendicular to the wall.

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.

Abstract: A boat tie down apparatus including a tubular member, the tubular member has a length that provides for the displacement of a boat from the dock during mooring, the tubular member has a rope extending therethrough, the front end of the rope extends out the front of the tubular member, and locates approximate the front end of the tubular member, to form a variable sized loop, for securement over a cleat or other structure at the dock. The back end of the rope, that extends through the tubular member, can be pulled for tightening the apparatus to the dock, and then the back end of the rope can be tied to a structure on the boat, such as a cleat, to provide for securement of the boat to the dock, displaced from the dock, during its mooring.

Abstract: A boat motor propeller wrench with metallic motor nut fastener is described. The wrench includes a polymer handle including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the second end including a tethering aperture. The wrench also includes a socket formed as one piece with the handle and extending from the first end of the handle substantially perpendicular thereto, the socket defining an aperture. The wrench further includes a metallic insert disposed within the aperture of the socket.

Abstract: A boat propeller wrench with metallic motor nut fastener, the wrench being formed of a molded polymer, having a handle portion, and a perpendicularly arranged integral socket, the socket having an aperture provided at least partially therein, forming a bore, and into which a metallic insert is located and applied for securement about a boat propeller nut, as it is being loosened, and removed, or tightened upon application, when the propeller is being serviced. The handle to socket leverage provides an approximate 12:1 force ratio, that greatly enhances the force exerted upon the nut, through manipulation of the wrench handle, as the nut is being removed, or installed, after servicing of the boat motor propeller. The back end of the handle has an aperture provided therethrough, and to which a tether device may be secured, to allow the wrench to be tied down, and to prevent its loss in the water in the event of untimely slippage from the hand of the service technician.
