Claim 10:
11. A fish finder and fish finder transducer mount apparatus combination comprising:
a fish finder, the fish finder comprising a non-directional transducer and a directional transducer;
a clamp body having a body front side, a body back side, a body a left side, a body right side, a body top side, and a body bottom side, the body front side having a left portion, a recessed medial portion and a right portion, the right portion having a vertical hemicylindrical first shaft depression and a plurality of clamp receiving apertures on each side of the first shaft depression;
a motor clamp coupled to the clamp body, the motor clamp being selectively engageable with the clamp body to secure the apparatus to a propeller shaft of a trolling motor, the motor clamp having a vertical hemicylindrical second shaft depression corresponding with the first shaft depression and a plurality of clamp mounting apertures corresponding with the plurality of clamp receiving apertures to receive a plurality of clamp bolts;
a non-directional transducer bracket coupled to the clamp body, the non-directional transducer bracket being selectively engageable with clamp body, the non-directional transducer bracket having a rectangular prismatic mounting portion and a shaft portion extending from the mounting portion, the mounting portion having a plurality of bracket through apertures extending therethrough to receive a plurality of bracket bolts and engage with a corresponding plurality of bracket threaded apertures extending into the body front side;
a non-directional transducer shaft coupled to the non-directional transducer bracket, a non-directional transducer shaft bottom end of the non-directional transducer shaft receiving the non-directional transducer of the fish finder, the non-directional transducer shaft being coupled within a non-directional transducer shaft aperture extending through the shaft portion of the non-directional transducer bracket;
a directional transducer shaft coupled to the clamp body, the directional transducer shaft being rotatably coupled through a directional transducer shaft aperture of the clamp body extending from the body top side through the body bottom side, a directional transducer shaft bottom end of the directional transducer shaft receiving the directional transducer of the fish finder;
a directional indicator coupled to a directional transducer shaft top end of the directional transducer shaft, the directional indicator being oriented in the same direction as the attached directional transducer of the fish finder;
a gearing system coupled to the directional transducer shaft, the gearing system comprising a transducer gear coupled to the directional transducer shaft and rotating the directional transducer shaft, a medial gear in operational communication with the transducer gear, and a handle gear in operational communication with the medial gear, and
a handle coupled to the gearing system, the handle comprising a main shaft coupled to the gearing system, a main shaft head coupled to the main shaft, and an extension portion being pivotably coupled to the main shaft head, the main shaft head having a collar portion and a head portion, the collar portion having a shaft receiver aperture extending therethrough and a set screw to receive and secure the main shaft, the head portion having a handle slot and a handle pin extending through the handle slot, the extension portion being pivotably coupled to the handle pin and having a 270° range of motion to move between a use position perpendicular with the main shaft and a store position parallel with the main shaft, the extension portion being secured by a user to manipulate the orientation of the directional transducer shaft.
