Description
Introducing our NEW ~ Item # SBB-5 Spring Back Bracket® (Pat. 9,361,873). The Spring Back Bracket® is built in Stainless Steel and includes all stainless hardware. Dimensions: Depth 1” x Height 2.5” x Width 3”.
The Spring Back Bracket now includes two double torsion springs. The second spring was added as a standard feature to accommodate the longer and heavier transducers on the market today. Another new feature is a stainless steel two prong fork. The “fork” is used to keep the top and bottom brackets together when dis-assembling and assembling the axle and springs. The Spring Back Bracket will safeguard the transducer from submerged objects by pivoting up and automatically returning to normal position once force is released, which in turn protects the transducer from underwater obstruction.
Spring Back Bracket is ideal for aluminum, fiberglass and polyethylene boats. It’s versatile to attach a transducer to the boat stern (back/transom area). Installation instructions and hardware are included in the package. Important Note: The instructions refer to the use of an “axle assembling tool” which we deem an essential tool. The tool is threaded on one end to remove and re-install the axle and springs. If your choose not to purchase this optional tool, a #2 phillips screw driver can be used to push the axle through the bracket. The axle assembling tool is highly recommended when purchasing the Spring Back Bracket.

* The top bracket is pre-drilled to accept a variety of transducer factory mounting hardware.
