Fully telescoping device mount
A telescoping device mount is configured to hold an electronic device. The telescoping device mount is configured to fully extend or fully retract the electronic device. The telescoping device mount includes a telescoping post, a mount segment, and a base. The telescoping post includes an inner post segment and an outer post segment. The mount segment is configured to secure an electronic device thereto. The mount segment includes an outer collar slidably securable to the outer post segment of the telescoping post. The base is secured to the inner post segment such that the outer post segment telescopes relative to the inner post segment. In a fully retracted position, the electronic device is proximate to the base and/or an underlying surface.
Method and Apparatus For Installing a Boat Fender
A device that can be easily and releasably fixed, moved, and reattached in any desired location on a boat; and provides for the easy attachment and securing of multiple ropes or other fastening means, at the same time, which are then attached to a single or multiple boat fender(s) or other floatation device(s) to facilitate the proper placement and location of the boat fender(s) or other floatation device(s) in relation to the boat, as needed, in that location.
SEAT FOR WATERCRAFT
Disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus having a submersible seating surface attached to a watercraft. The submersible seating surface may be raised to serve as a table when not in use as a seat. A tension member provides upward force on the seat, allowing it to be easily raised from a lowered position to a raised position. In some embodiments, a tether is used to provide additional security for the apparatus. In embodiments, a hydrofoil cup holder is affixed to the seat to provide additional lift when a watercraft is moving forward, urging the seat upward and out of the water. The hydrofoil cup holder further includes an opening in a top surface of the cup holder to secure an item such as a beverage container. Embodiments may further include a submerged safety indicator to alert nearby swimmers and/or people on the watercraft of the submerged seat.
Ski Tow For Boats
A ski tow for a boat having a tow post and a ski rope connected to the tow post. The ski tow includes a pedestal shaped body having a lowermost foot spaced apart from an uppermost cap by an intermediate die; a camera mount located on the cap and configured for receiving a camera; and a chase extending vertically through the pedestal body and open on both ends. The pedestal shaped body pivots or rotates such that the camera mount remains aligned with the ski rope as a skier connected to the tow rope moves relative to the tow post and moves the tow rope relative to the tow post.
Fishing net support system
A fishing net support system includes a boat mount configured to be mounted onto a boat hull. A linkage is attached to the boat mount. A receiver can receive a pole of a fishing net. The receiver is mounted on the linkage, such that the linkage allows pivoting between the boat mount and the receiver within a vertical plane.
Fishing rod holding apparatus and related boat and method
A fishing rod holding apparatus is provided. The apparatus may include a crossbar and one or more rod receivers affixed to the crossbar. Each of the rod receivers may be configured to receive a fishing rod. Further, the apparatus may include at least one bracket engaged with the crossbar and configured to engage a boat. The apparatus may additionally include an actuator engaged with crossbar and configured to rotate the crossbar to change an angle of the one or more rod receivers with respect to the vertical plane. A related boat and a related boat accessory operation method are also provided.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING STORAGE ON A MARINE VEHICLE
A system for creating additional storage on a marine vehicle is provided. The system of the present disclosure is generally designed to secure to a marine vehicle via a rod holder, wherein parallel bars provide additional storage area for marine equipment, such as innertubes. To this end, the system of the present disclosure may comprise supports and support braces. Straps may be used to attach the marine equipment to the supports. To ensure that the supports are properly secured within the rod holders, a sleeve may be used to increase friction and change size. Board arms may be attached to the supports in order to increase storage area.
ADJUSTABLE BOAT STATION
A boat station (100), including: a console shell (104) configured to be secured to a boat; and a console panel (106) configured to receive a helm control (120) and a throttle control (122) and to move relative to the console shell. The boat station is configured to adjust a vertical position of the helm control and the throttle control by moving the console panel relative to the console shell.
Quick disconnect mount
A quick disconnect mount includes a mounting stud securable to a structure, and a connector securable on the mounting stud. The mounting stud includes at least one circumferential ridge and at least one circumferential trough, and the connector includes a central channel sized to fit over the mounting stud and a locking bar engageable with the circumferential trough.
Accessory mounting system for boats
In one implementation, an accessory mount system for a watersport tow boat includes a boat mount that is configured to be attached to a boat mounting surface that is adjacent to or part of a swim platform that extends from a rear of the watersport tow boat. The accessory mount system can further include an accessory arm that includes a first end and a second end, where the first end is configured to be fixedly attached to the accessory arm mounting surface of the boat mount and the second end is configured to be positioned above a top surface of the swim platform when the accessory arm is attached to the watersport tow boat via the boat mount. The accessory mount system can further include an accessory adapter positioned at the second end of the accessory arm.
