Abstract: A position indicator for tracking the position of a slide in relation to a support comprises an electronic signal generator device formed as a transducer which is capable of being activated, and an electronic signal generating device formed as a magnet. The transducer or the magnet is attached to the hydraulic cylinder. The electronic device is positioned near said activator wherein the signal output of the electronic device is regulated, in relation to ambient light, by a photoelectric cell.

Abstract: A proximal pivot assembly has a proximal pivot arm with proximal and distal ends; a first pin pivotally coupling the proximal end of the proximal pivot arm to a boat mount, a second pin attaching a stop block to the boat mount, a third pin, and a fourth pin coupling the proximal collar to the distal end of the proximal pivot arm. A distal pivot assembly has an anchoring pole mounting plate receiving an anchor pole. The anchor pole has an interior end with a fifth pin. A sixth pin pivotally couples the exterior end of a distal extension arm to the mounting plate. A distal collar with a seventh pin pivotally couples the distal collar to the distal extension arm. An extension assembly operatively couples the proximal and distal pivot assemblies.

Abstract: A position indicator for a hydraulic jack plate for use with a marine outboard motor in a marine environment, the position indicator allows a boat operator to determine the position of an outboard motor relative to some fixed reference point usually the upper edge of the transom of a boat, the hydraulic jack plate has a fixed support and a moveable slide, a magnet is attached to the fixed support, this magnet activates individual segments of a multi segment transducer which is secured to the moveable slide of the jack plate when activated each segment of multi segment transducer produces a specific voltage which in turn activates a particular L.E.D., by observing which L.E.D. is activated an operator can determine the position of the slide and hence the position of the outboard motor, the light output of the L.E.D.'s is varied in relation to the ambient light.
