Need some engineering help
I'm getting a Gamin Livescope. I've seen various mounts that are hand operated to turn the unit. I have an old foot controlled TM and I'd like to use that to put the LS on, so I can easily turn while fishing.
I want to use that TM, but I don't have a good place to put another TM on the bow of my boat. The bracket is so long when the TM is stowed that its going to hit something, anywhere I put it.
So, I need some help in figuring out how to design a bracket that will allow the old foot control shaft to be used for the LS mount, but either be taken off when not in use or stowed in a shorter way. If that makes sense.
I think I could get by with about 36" of total length and I thought about cutting the bracket down to accomodate that but it's still gonna be hard to put it somewhere that it won't be in the way.
Thanks for any help you guys might offer.

Could you use a hinge with a removable pin to attach to a bracket so that you could unmount or mount the shaft when not in use.?
