Abstract:
Mounting device for mounting a self-steering system on the stern (40) of a boat at a predefined angle determined from the stern configuration and a desired inclination of the self-steering system, having a support structure (10) for retaining and connecting the self-steering system with a pair of mounting brackets (20A, 20B), for retaining and connecting the supporting structure (10) with the stern of a boat (40), in which the mounting brackets (20A, 20B) have two first elongated holes (21, 22) extending along at least one approximately circular line for clamping the supporting structure (10) fast with a plurality of fasteners such that the position of the supporting structure can be adjusted,characterized in that a pair of elongate, plate-like adaptor pieces (30A, 30B, 30C, 30D) is provided, said adaptor pieces each being suitable for releasable connection at one end with one of the mounting brackets (20A; 20B) and at the other end with the supporting structure (10) and for this purpose having, in a first longitudinal area (38), at least two first elongated holes (31, 32) extending essentially transverse to the long direction (L) of the plate-like adaptor piece and congruent with the elongated holes (21, 22) of the mounting brackets and, in a second longitudinal area (39), at least two second elongated holes (42A, 42B) extending essentially in the long direction (L) and arranged essentially parallel with each other.
