Once known as the Standard model, Universal Sonar Mount's flagship mount is now the Hightower. The new USM Lineup has a model for just about any requirement. From our smallest Compact Model to the Bow-Stern, Expedition, and even our XL, we have you covered. All of our models have built-in features that keep crew, vessel, and assets safe. Improve efficiency and reliability in an easy to set-up & use, scalable standardized, off-the-shelf platform. Every mount is hard coat anodized and properly greased from the factory, ready to withstand the toughest environments!
The Universal Sonar Mount (USM) is designed, prototyped, and extensively tested on the water, built to meet the demanding and unpredictable nature of sonar operations so the user can focus on real-time decision-making.
