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.

Disclosed are apparatus and corresponding and/or associated methodology for a surface mounted base/pin system that allows a user (boater/fisherman) to quickly relocate or remove the desired accessory from one location to another by actuating the pin system which releases the unit from the base. The subject base/pin system uses a plurality of grooves in a base component and a plurality of balls in a pin component to strengthen the unit and for providing rotational locking positions as desired. The reinforced-strength base/pin system can support rod holders or other marine-associated accessories (such as bumper cleats, tie-down cleats, downrigging systems or others).

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.

A slide system includes a component assembly, a track system, a floor panel, and a below-deck cavity. The track system is coupled at least indirectly to the component assembly for guiding movement of the component assembly along a path. The floor panel includes an upper surface. The below-deck cavity is disposed below the floor panel. The component assembly is located substantially above the floor panel. The track system is located within the below deck cavity and below the upper surface.

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.

A camera mounting system for inspection is intended to be used with lights and a camera connected to a data transmission system to allow temporary installation of the mounting system upon a barge hatch to allow for visual confirmation via a camera or other digital imaging system of the interior space of the barge. The system is intended to be used to reduce personnel exposure to the interior of barges. The camera mounting system is portable and may be folded. The camera mounting system allows use with hatches generally rectangular at the access hatch as well as hatches having rounded or sweeping ninety degree type access hatches with the mounting system providing multiple positions for placement of the camera for either hatch type to ensure repeatability of the visual confirmation between various barge and barge configurations.

A Drink holder inserted into a fishing boat's existing rod holders for the convenience of securely holding a variety of single drink container sizes and shapes while reducing the potential for spills which may lead to slips and falls causing personal injury.

The drink holder will fit inside various internal diameter boat rod holder's and adjust to their relative inclination ranging from 0 degrees being vertical, to 45 degrees from vertical while allowing a comfortable hands free fishing trip to grab a fishing rod, drink nearby, or handrail.

This invention simply converts a fishing rod holder into a drink holder.

A boating accessory attachment system includes a mechanism that is selectively movable between first and second configurations. In the first configuration, one member of the mechanism is substantially vertical to support a boating accessory above the deck and/or fencing so that the boating accessory is accessible and usable by a occupant in the passenger area of the boat. In the second configuration, the member of the mechanism is rotated approximately ninety degrees to be substantially horizontal so that the mechanism supports the boating accessory above the water for use by someone swimming or lounging adjacent to the boat. A tubular receiver mounted to the underside of the deck facilitates attachment of the mechanism to the boat.

A modular steering console. The modular steering console has a main console portion having a top side and a side. The top side includes holes for receiving bolts. The side of the main console portion has holes for receiving bolts. The modular steering console has one or more brackets having slots in a top side configured to be fastened to the main console top side by bolts through the slots to allow lateral adjustment of the brackets while allowing a side of the brackets and the side of the main console portion to sandwich a side of a boat.

The invention is defined as a personal watercraft gunwale rod holder complete design, fastened to a personal watercraft gunwale port or starboard. It functions as a support for rod and reels or accessories and incorporates a structure that allows unobstructed access to rod and reels of the personal watercraft port or starboard.

An incorporated locking mechanism functions as a positioning lock that also allows quick release by the user of the personal watercraft.

This invention allows to lade different accessories such as rod and reels, gaff, net, flag, or other accessories.

This invention is designed for all personal watercraft users, including those with mobility restrictions that have restricted access to the personal watercraft when obstructed by placement of items.
