Adjustable accessory bracket assembly

An adjustable accessory bracket assembly for use with a boat to support a mirror, comprising:

• a handle member;
• a push rod slideably insertable into said handle member;
• an orientation spindle having a cylindrical shape and at least one complementary flat indexing surface configured to complement an end of the push rod;
• a mounting member to support the handle member, said mounting member configured to receive the orientation spindle therein such that said handle member pivots with respect to said mounting member about said orientation spindle;
• and
• a driving member to drive said push rod along a longitudinal axis of said push rod such that when the push rod is driven in a first axial direction, the end of the push rod and the at least one complementary indexing surface interlock to fixedly maintain the handle member in a chosen position relative to said mounting member, and when the push rod is driven in a second axial direction opposite to the first axial direction, the end of the push rod is axially displaced from the at least one indexing surface to release the interlock and permit the handle member to pivot with respect to the mounting member.
