Wouldn't it work as well if it
was just swinging under its own weight, perhaps with a damped movement?

It's damped by the fluid chambers. In fact, when the boat heels suddenly,
the
mount pivots slowly until level.

Oh, right - it's not an hydraulic drive, then (which was what I thought you
meant)? Neat idea all the same. Is the scanner one of those types with a
narrow vertical propagation?
