A fishing rod holder includes an arch body, a support lip, a handle opening, and an alignment slot. The arch body that functions as the rigid holding structure includes a flat base, a left arch wall, and a right arch wall. The left arch wall and the right arch wall are oppositely positioned of each other about the flat base. The left arch wall is perpendicularly connected to the flat base. The right arch wall is perpendicularly connected to the flat base. The support lip is connected to a front end of the flat base and provides a platform to secure the pole section of the fishing rod. The handle opening traverses through a rear end of the flat base thus allowing to insert the handle section of the fishing rod. The alignment slot centrally traverses through the flat base and allows the arch body to be mounted to kayaks.

The invention relates to an interface for mounting a propulsion mechanism to a watercraft such as a fishing kayak, and to a watercraft comprising such an interface. The interface comprises a first portion including a first plate with a hole sized and shaped for receiving therethrough a portion of the propulsion mechanism, a second portion including a second plate and one channel extending from the second plate, the channel being in registry with the hole of the first portion for therein a portion of the propulsion mechanism. The interface also comprises fastening assemblies for removably fastening the second portion to the first portion of the interface, and a guiding assembly for maintaining the channel of the second portion in registry with the hole of the first portion.

The invention features the new system of spring compression to provide the force necessary to securely attach accessories to gear track systems. The invention also features a customized bolt design allowing the bolt to be inserted into the gear track system from near perpendicularly above, turned (rotated) such that the bolt flanges catch on the underside of the gear track flanges, and held into place via the compression spring(s). This allows the attachment/detachment of gear track accessories to take a significantly less amount of time versus the old method.

A bumper holder may attach or clamp to a variety of types of personal watercraft (PWC) to provide a bumper. The bumper holder may be used to hold the PWC in place regardless whether the PWC is docked or in use. The bumper holder does not require being near a dock/pier or piling to be used. The bumper holder may have a clamp that may connect to a PWC. The clamp may be affixed to a first bar that may be attached to a second bar using a hinge portion. The second bar may include the bumper at the end opposite the hinge portion. The bumper holder may include a lock bar that may connect and secure a top portion of the first bar to the second bar. The first bar and the second bar may be telescopic and/or adjustable.

A combined paddle and pump can be used to propel a small boat. The handle telescopes with a locking nut that may be loosened to allow extension and retraction of the handle. The handle is hollow throughout and a pair of check valves are provided. One check valve opens when the handle is extended and the other opens when the handle is retracted. When one check valve is open, the other is closed. When the distal end of the paddle is placed within a volume of water or exposed to atmospheric, extension and retraction of the handle results in a fluid first being sucked into the hollow interior of the handle and then propelled out of the handle. A seal assembly prevents debris from binding tubes of the handle.

A method of operating a watercraft carrier includes activating a handle at an outboard end of a base of the watercraft carrier. The activating the handle releases a locking mechanism of an upright. The locking mechanism is disposed at a distal end of the base. The method further includes rotating the upright from a first position to a second position.

The present invention relates generally to the field of boat transports or carriers which may be mounted to a sidewall of the boat by a bracket. The carrier has a frame and a wheel assembly that has a horizontal cross member, a first vertical fork, a second vertical fork, a mounting bracket and a wheel. An individual may place two boat-mounted brackets on to opposing sides of a boat, so that the user may easily wheel the boat to the desired location. Once at the location, the user can then remove each wheel assembly and use the boat as normal.
