A marine vessel maneuvering apparatus performs maneuvering of a marine vessel by wireless communication, and includes an operator to move the marine vessel in an operating direction of the operator, a recorder to record location information of a place where fishing is performed using the marine vessel that is moved by operating the operator, and a controller connected to at least the recorder.

A line hauler on a fish tender vessel is mounted to a port or starboard quarter location of a deck of the vessel. A loop of floating line is wrapped around the line hauler, extends toward the bow of the vessel to a pulley mounted on a respective port or starboard side, then extends down to the sea, then extends on the surface of the sea adjacent the respective port or starboard side to at least the location where the line hauler is mounted to the deck, and then extends from the surface of the sea back to the line hauler. The loop of line moves in a circle when the line hauler pulls on the line. Lead lines are connected to the line. Fishing vessels attached to the lead lines are pulled alongside the respective port or starboard side of the vessel when the line hauler pulls the line.

An enzymatic processing plant for continuous flow-based enzymatic processing of organic molecules. The enzymatic processing plant including an enzymatic processing area, wherein the enzymatic processing area includes a turbulence-generating pipe with a repeatedly changing centre-line and/or a repeatedly changing cross-section, for generating turbulence to mix a reaction mixture and prevent sedimentation of particles as the reaction mixture is flowing through the turbulence-generating pipe. The enzymatic processing plant and the enzymatic processing area are arranged such that the reaction mixture is subjected to turbulence within the enzymatic processing area for a reaction time of 15 minutes or more.

Apparatus and means are provided for elevating a video camera above the deck of a vessel in order to achieve a better and more distant view of objects below the surface of the water. The apparatus provides for allowing a video camera to be elevated, aimed in any horizontal direction, and further tilted from substantially straight down into the water to substantially straight up into the sky. The apparatus further provides for such a tower of fixed elevation or one which may be adjustable and elevation. Further it provides for either manual or remote adjustment of the horizontal direction, vertical tilt, elevation, or for the zoom or aperture of the video camera. It also provides for viewing the image either on one or more fixed video monitors or upon the screen of a computing device, such as a smart phone, tablet, or any form of computer which are adapted with any form of wireless, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

An outrigger assembly includes an outrigger tube with a longitudinal axis. A swivel ring is disposed on the outrigger tube. The swivel ring is rotatable with respect to the outrigger tube about the longitudinal axis. The swivel ring has a line guide for guiding an outrigger rigging line in a direction along the longitudinal axis.

An outboard motor for a marine vessel application, and related methods of making and operating same, are disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the outboard motor includes a horizontal-crankshaft engine in an upper portion of the outboard motor, positioned substantially positioned above a trimming axis of the outboard motor. In at least another embodiment, first, second and third transmission devices are employed to transmit rotational power from the engine to one or more propellers at a lower portion of the outboard motor. In at least a further embodiment, the outboard motor is made to include a rigid interior assembly formed by the engine, multiple transmission devices, and a further structural component. In further embodiments, the outboard motor includes numerous cooling, exhaust, and/or oil system components, as well as other transmission features.
