An apparatus for towing a water sports performer including a first leg, a second leg, a header, and a tow-line-attachment structure. Each of the first leg and second leg is adapted for attachment to one of the port side of a centerline of a boat or the starboard side of a centerline of a boat. The header is capable of assuming a plurality of different header lengths, and includes a first header portion, a second header portion, a housing, and a locking mechanism. The housing connects the first header portion and the second header portion. The housing includes a first receiver configured to receive a second end of the first header portion at a plurality of different positions. The locking mechanism is configured to secure the second end of the first header portion to the housing in one of the plurality of different positions to set the header length.

An assembly in a marine vessel includes a unit arranged in a water tight chamber opening in a hull of a vessel, wherein the unit is adapted to extend into the water below the vessel when at a mounted position. A connection path between an inside and an outside of the vessel is provided with a sealing system and the sealing system divides the connection path into an outside connection path portion and an inside connection path portion. The assembly includes a gas inlet system opening to the outside connection path portion.

A boarding/disembarking apparatus is removably attached to a vessel to assist in boarding and disembarking from the vessel. An upper end of the apparatus engages the vessel's gunwale or transom and the lower end of the apparatus defines a step or platform, and a hull plate rests against the hull. In a first embodiment the hull plate is hinged to conform to the angular hull of the vessel. In a second embodiment the hull brace allows adjustment of the position of the apparatus relative to the boat.

A boat safety device includes a base portion that has a boat plug retaining cavity. The boat plug retaining cavity is sized for accepting and holding a boat drain plug and is optionally threaded to match threads of the boat drain plug. A key hole goes through a wall of the base portion and is sized to accept a boat key. The key hole is interfaced with the boat plug retaining cavity such that when a key is inserted fully into the key hole, teeth of the key extend into the boat plug retaining cavity so that, after installing the boat drain plug into the boat plug retaining cavity, the key is held in the key hole until the boat drain plug is later removed from the boat plug retaining cavity. Optionally, a key guard is provided to reduce chances of bending the boat key.

An articulating top having a frame, a cover attached to the frame and a mounting bracket to attach the frame to a vehicle can be moved between a deployed position to provide shelter to an area below the top and a stowed position. The frame having main and secondary frame members in addition to one or more struts between a frame member and the vehicle to provide additional support to the frame such that the top can be used while the vehicle is in motion or in windy conditions. The top may also use one or more braces.

Trolling motor assemblies with an integrated screen and/or user interface are provided herein. For example, the screen is integrated in the main housing or a foot pedal housing of the trolling motor assembly and accessible/visible by a user while the trolling motor is deployed. Such an assembly provides an easy-to-use and compact assembly that provides useful marine features for the user right at the trolling motor, thereby saving space and allowing the user to receive all pertinent information at their current position on the watercraft.
