    Transducer identification & compatibility

    Mystery bracket - help please!

    G'day all Just wanted to see if anyone can tell me what this bracket is, mounted on the starboard side of the stern of my 209 Escape (see photo, 1/2" drive socket for scale). Looks like it is a standard GW fitting but who know? Thanks and all the very best from Downunder!
