UNIVERSAL SONAR MOUNT

COMPACT BOW-STERN

COMPACT BOW-STERN

The Bow-Stern Mount is USM's specialty mount, sharing the same platform as the COMPACT. Similarly, this model is recommended for systems with Z-Pole lengths up to 7', bearing loads up to 45lbs.

Just like the  Compact, Megatower, and XL, the Bow-Stern 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.
