11352104 · 2022-06-07 ·

A monopod for mounting to the boat seat mount of a marine vessel, such as a bass boat or speed boat, which is capable of providing power for mobile accessories via a second monopod affixed to the navigation light port of the boat. The monopod is extendable to heights up to or exceeding eight feet (8′) above the deck of the boat, providing exceptional views for recording with a mounted camera while users participate in sports or other events within the boat. A release mechanism allows one portion of the monopod to telescope away from a second portion, thereby extending the monopod.

BOAT DRIVER AWARENESS LIGHT
20220161906 · 2022-05-26 ·

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a boat driver awareness system that alerts other boaters that there are swimmers, skiers, divers, rope or other hazards are in the water, thereby telling them to be aware and take extra caution in the area. When boating, especially on smaller or busy lakes/areas, this system will alert all other boaters that there are people/swimmers in the water and they can respond by keeping out of the area.

POLE LIGHT AND BASE SYSTEM
20220135190 · 2022-05-05 ·

A pole light and base system that includes a pole light base configured to be secured to a gunwale of a watercraft. In practice, the pole light base might include a pole light tube and a female Universal Serial Bus connector. The pole light tube may have electrical contacts configured to engage respective electrical contacting portions of an all around light pole if an all around light pole is inserted into the pole light tube. In some cases, the system might include the all around light pole and light. The electrical contacts of the tube might include a positive contact electrically coupled to a first wire and a negative contact electrically coupled to a second wire. The first and second wire may be designed to connect directly to a 12 Volt watercraft battery. They may also connect to a boat fuse box that is connected to a battery. Similarly, the female USB connector can be electrically connected to a printed circuit board that includes transforming components capable of transforming 12 Volt power from a watercraft battery into a lower voltage, such as 5 volt, that is made available via the female USB-A connector.

Bracket for mounting a thruster to a boat
11319044 · 2022-05-03 · ·

A bracket for mounting a thruster to a boat includes a horizontal neck portion, an upper mounting support portion, a support plate portion that extends downward from the upper mounting support portion, and an enclosure portion. The support plate portion and the rear of the upper mounting support portion form a transom-facing surface in a plane that is generally at a right angle relative to a horizontal plane, within a small range of angles. The transom-facing surface can angled to match the angle of the transom of a boat to which the thruster bracket is mounted. A thruster can be mounted to the thruster bracket at a level where the thruster will be out of the water when the boat is moving fast and up on plane, and will be in the water when the boat is moving very slow.

Personal watercraft

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body including a hull and a deck covering an upper portion of the hull; a light emitter supported by the watercraft body; and a protection cover covering the light emitter and permeable to light emitted by the light emitter, wherein the watercraft body includes a flow-regulating structure, and the flow-regulating structure includes: a fluid inlet through which an external fluid enters the watercraft body; and an upper flow-regulating wall and a lower flow-regulating wall that are opposed to each other in an up-down direction, the upper and lower flow-regulating walls being located between the fluid inlet and the protection cover to regulate flow of the fluid entering the watercraft body through the fluid inlet and moving toward the protection cover.

Diffused Lighting Assemblies and Methods of Installation On Marine Vessels and Land Vehicles
20230250950 · 2023-08-10 ·

A light assembly and method for installing the same on a surface in a wet or outdoor environment, e.g., on a marine vessel or land recreational or other vehicle, such as marine light assemblies, without need for specialized tools or mounting assemblies. The light assembly comprises a flexible diffusion housing having a first portion and a second portion, with a groove therebetween. A light element is disposed within the interior of the first portion, and light produced by the light element is diffused by the first and second portions prior to emission outwardly from the second portion. After installation, only the second portion of the light assembly is visible on the marine vessel or land recreational surface.
