Marine sensor mounting mechanism

摘要

A marine sensor mounting mechanism is disclosed and comprises a mounting plate (2) securable to a boat, a two-branch bifurcated bracket (4) having one branch attached to the plate and a two-arm toggle link (6) having one arm pivotally attached to the plate and the second arm pivotally attached to the second branch of the bifurcated bracket. The arms of the link are paired for pivotal movement for a first open position when the sensor is in an inoperative position to a second closed position when the sensor is in an operative position.
