Abstract
An accessory bracket is provided for mounting an accessory in a desired position. A mirror other instrument may be mounted close to the field of vision of a pilot of a boat, for instance. The bracket may be mounted to a tower or other structure with a mount forming a clamp so that the bracket and an attached accessory are above the lines of sight of the pilot, thereby avoiding obstructing the pilot's view of the environment of the boat. The bracket includes an arm extending from the mount and a post extending from the arm. The mount is adjustable relative to the structure, and the bracket is accordingly adjustable. The accessory is mounted to the post and is adjustable relative to the post such that the accessory may rotate around the post and may pivot relative to the post, or vice versa. The arm may be raised and lowered. These adjustment characteristics an accessory to be mounted in a desired position.
