Apparatus for mounting an acoustic transducer in connection with a boat to allow the transducer to be moved about beneath the water and thereby scan more than one direction. The apparatus comprises a flexible control cable with a device which actuates it fastened to the cable's upper end. Fastened to its lower end is a pivot mechanism which converts the action of the control cable to a pivotal movement. This pivot mechanism holds a transducer support mount such that the action of the control cable pivots the transducer support mount; preferably, in a vertical plane. The pivot mechanism is connected with the boat such that the pivot mechanism and the transducer it holds are held beneath the water; and, preferably, such that the transducer mount can be rotated 360 DEG about the vertical axis, as in a substantially horizontal plane.
