UNIVERSAL SONAR MOUNT

HIGHTOWER

HIGHTOWER

The Hightower is USM's most versatile mount, with exceptional functionality and exclusive options such as the Gear Drive actuation. This model is recommended for systems with Z-Pole lengths up to 10', bearing loads up to 150lbs.

Just like the  Compact, Megatower, and XL, the Hightower uses a vertical lead-screw mechanism called the Shear Block Tower to engage and disengage the Z-Pole, also serving as a breakaway safety feature in the event of a collision.
