It is known to mount accessories to watercraft; for example lights, cameras, echo sounders, fish finders, etc. The accessories may be supported by a base screw fitted to the boat. It is desirable to increase the space between the accessory and the boat with an extender arm. It is an object of a preferred embodiment of the invention to go at least some way towards facilitating this. In a preferred embodiment of the invention an extender for holding boating accessories has a lower limb 1 and an upper limb 2 engaged in elbow relationship such that one can be pivoted with respect to the other about a bolt and nut 4, 6. An upper portion of at least one of the limbs is able to swivel about a longitudinal axis. The extender has at least one locking ring 14 able to move longitudinally between locked and unlocked positions. The extender is such that when the ring 14 is in its locked position it prevents the above mentioned swivel. 5, 7 4, 6 Figure 1
