1. A system, comprising:

  • a mounting bracket;

    a transducer support arm; and

    a pivoting mechanism pivotably coupling the transducer support arm to the mounting bracket such that,for forces acting on the transducer support arm that are less than a preselected kick-up level, the pivoting mechanism holds the transducer support arm against those forces and at a user selectable first angular position relative to the mounting bracket, andfor forces acting on the transducer support arm that are equal to or greater than the preselected kick-up level, the pivoting mechanism allows the transducer support arm to be moved by those forces to a second angular position relative to the mounting bracket.
