Batteries for electric marine propulsion systems, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative power system includes an enclosure having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, with each of the first end second ends including and inwardly-extending portion forming a handle region and having an opening into an interior of the enclosure. The power system can further include an electrical connector carried by the inwardly-extending portion and positioned beneath the opening of the second end, and at least one battery cell positioned in the interior of the enclosure and electrically coupled to the electrical connector. The system can still further include at least one fan positioned in the interior of the enclosure along an airflow path between the opening at the first end and the opening at the second end.

Disclosed herein are various devices for the support of an outboard motor. The device having a body with a plurality of notches shaped to couple various pieces of the boat, outboard motor, and/or mounting bracket.

A user input assembly for controlling operation of a trolling motor assembly including a propulsion motor, the user input assembly having an input device housing defining a top surface that is configured to receive a user's foot thereon, wherein the top surface defines a left edge and right edge, a support plate, wherein the input device housing is pivotably mounted to the support plate, and a switch that is selectively secured to the input device housing in one of a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is proximate the left edge of the input device housing, the second position is proximate the right edge of the input device housing, and the switch is movable between an open position and closed position so that the power is supplied to the propulsion motor.

This invention relates to a survival craft comprising a hull (10) formed from inflatable members, an optional canopy support structure carried by the hull and formed from inflatable members, and an inflatable wall structure (11). The invention also relates to rigid pod (19) configured to carry a survival craft in a deflated state and be coupled to the hull when the craft is in an inflated state. The inflatable parts may be formed from drop thread material.

Controlling marine vessel: obtaining motion data related to the marine vessel; obtaining an operation state related to one or more apparatuses exerting force from the marine vessel to ambient water; detecting a disturbance in one or more degrees of freedom affecting the marine vessel based on the motion data; and determining control data for the one or more apparatuses exerting force to attenuate the detected disturbance.

A trolling motor assembly for use with a watercraft and for wirelessly communicating marine data with a remote electronic device. The assembly includes a trolling motor housing coupled to a second end of a main shaft and having mounted therein a propulsion motor for providing propulsion power to the watercraft and a sonar transducer assembly for generating marine data about an underwater environment relative to the watercraft, and a main housing coupled to a first end of the main shaft and having mounted therein a processor for processing the marine data received from the sonar transducer assembly, and a wireless module for wirelessly transmitting the marine data to the remote electronic device.

A watercraft includes a hull structure, a deck structure, and a propulsion system. The hull structure includes at least one hull each defining an interior. The deck structure is mounted to the hull structure. The propulsion system is adapted for moving the watercraft within a body of water, and includes an electric motor and an energy storage device coupled to the electric motor. The electric motor and the energy storage device are positioned adjacent one another within an area including at least one of the interior of the at least one hull.

The present invention is directed to a mounting device for a fish finding apparatus and, more particularly, to a motorized mounting device which includes an adjustable length pole used to mount a sonar transducer or other device an angler may be interested in mounting to the end of the pole that enters the water. The pole is used to spin the transducer or other apparatus in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction with a switch that is adapted to be operated by the angler's foot or a wireless remote. The spin speed may also be adjusted as desired by a variable speed switch. The mounting device is configured to be secured to a boat or mounted on a boat troll motor whereby the adjustable pole is secured and spins independent of the troll motor shaft.

A marine outboard motor for a marine vessel is provided. The marine outboard motor includes an internal combustion engine, a drive shaft configured to transmit a drive force from the internal combustion engine, a propeller shaft, and a drive transmission configured to transmit the drive force from the drive shaft to the propeller shaft. The motor also includes a lubrication system configured to convey lubricant along a lubricant flow path to lubricate one or both of the drive transmission and the drive shaft, and a lubricant filter provided along the lubricant flow path and configured to remove solid contaminants from the lubricant as it flows along the lubricant flow path. The lubricant filter is configured to be driven by the drive shaft.

A system for controlling a watercraft includes a data communication module, a device system, an electric power supply, and a controller. The data communication module is operable to perform wireless communication with an external computer. The device system includes at least one electric device. The electric power supply provides electric power to the data communication module and the device system. The controller is configured or programmed to switch between a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the controller provides electric power to the data communication module by the electric power supply during both activation and deactivation of the device system. In the second mode, the controller provides electric power to the data communication module by the electric power supply during the activation of the device system, but stops providing electric power to the data communication module by the electric power supply during the deactivation of the device system.
