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.

The present disclosure provides an improved fish fighting apparatus that can be used by youth anglers, such as children, to assist in the capture of fish. The fish fighting apparatus includes a base frame having a plurality of vertical supports extending upwardly therefrom, an upper frame attached to the vertical supports and positioned above the base frame, a seat attached to the base frame, where the base frame, the upper frame, the vertical support, and the seat together define a seating area, a rod holder attached to the base frame and forming a pair of longitudinally spaced-apart openings between the base frame and the upper frame, and a mounting assembly attached to an underside of the seat and configured for mounting on a gunwale of a fishing vessel.

An outrigger clamp to couple together two or more nestable tubes. The clamp can include a guide for retaining filament. The guide can rotate about an axis based on the forces applied to the outrigger to better align the filament and guides, and therefore align the forces applied to the outrigger and filament. The retainer can be, for example, one or more rollers that help prevent the filament from becoming creased or kinked during use.
