A motorized water sports equipment rack and method for motorized swiveling of a water sports equipment rack attached to a boat are disclosed. The motorized water sports equipment rack includes a mounting bracket for securing the mounting bracket to the boat and a water sports rack mounting bolt connected to the mounting bracket. A swivel bracket is connected to the water sports rack mounting bracket. A water sports equipment rack mount is connected to the swivel bracket. The water sports equipment rack mount supports a water sports equipment rack adapted for holding various types of water sporting equipment. A sealed actuator housing is connected to the swivel bracket and houses an actuator, such as an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuator. The actuator is configured to drive the swivel bracket to rotate the water sports equipment rack.

A personal watercraft comprises a handle which is operated by a rider to steer a body of the personal watercraft; a steering shaft connecting the handle to the body; and a holder capable of holding a drink bottle, and a separating wall with a height larger than a height of an edge of the holder is provided between the steering shaft and the holder.

An extender for holding boating accessories including at least a first limb and a second limb engaged in elbow relationship such that one can be pivoted with respect to the other about a transverse axis. At least one of the limbs includes a swivel portion that is able to turn about a longitudinal axis. At least one locking part moves longitudinally along a respective one of the limbs between locked and unlocked positions. When the locking part is in the locked position, it prevents the swivel portion turning.

A marine hub attaches to a boat pedestal, dock support or other vertical support post, and has removable interchangeable attachment arms that radiate from a main body tube or disk that fits around the support post. The main body tube has a bore with an inside diameter just larger than the diameter of the support post. An adapter ring may be used within the bore of the main body tube for mounting on posts that are smaller, or not cylindrical. Support stub members radiate from the main body tube, and the attachment arms secure to these with quick release pins. The support arms may be used with fishing or boating accessories, beverage holders, or other equipment.

The present invention includes a modular and removable watercraft platform for providing storage, stability, and mounting means to a user of a PWC. The modular watercraft platform of the present invention is directly for use in fresh and salt water and use with multiples sizes, brands, and types of PWC through multiple adjustment members. The modular watercraft platform allows the user to convert a stock factory PWC to include a front support assembly and a rear platform assembly. The modular watercraft platform allowing for storage, transport, and mounting of various items and accessories, as well as facilitating recreational activities upon the front support assembly and/or the rear assembly.

The present invention provides a method for handling the content of a catch from a fishing boat comprising the steps of providing a sorting table having crate handling platforms and installing crates on these platforms. The method also has the step of replacing a full crate with an empty crate and placing the full crates on a crate handling frame which frame can be secured within vertical storage containers.

A system includes a coil contacting base. The coil contacting base includes a radially curved outer surface with a radius of curvature less than or equal to a coil radius of curvature of an interior channel of a coil of spoolable pipe, and the coil contacting base includes a length greater than or equal to an axial dimension of the coil. The system also includes a side wall coupled to an inner surface of the coil contacting base. The side wall is configured to block circumferential movement of a coil restraint. The system also includes a passage disposed between the coil contacting base and the side wall. The coil restraint is configured to be disposed in the passage.

A process for lashing containers with a power tool, a lashing rod (2) connectable to a container and a turnbuckle (1) connectable to a container transport vehicle. The turnbuckle comprises a first connection part (14) connectable to the lashing rod and second connection part (15) connectable to the container transport vehicle, the turnbuckle being rotatable around it's longitudinal axis (L). At least one of the connection parts comprises a tensioning part (144) for tensioning the lashing rod by adapting the overall length of the turnbuckle and lashing rod. The tensioning part is driven by a drive part (145) which is operated by a power tool. For lashing a container the turnbuckle is connected to the container transport vehicle and the lashing rod, which is connected to the container. The turnbuckle is rotated until the drive part is accessible by the power tool. Then, the drive part is driven by the power tool.
