Bumper holder
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.
Boat having a hatch and a marine outboard engine with a bumper for abutting the hatch
A boat has a rear platform including a pivotable hatch. A marine outboard engine has a bumper connected to the engine unit housing. When mounted to the boat, the marine outboard engine is located under the hatch and is pivotable from a trim range to a tilt range. When the hatch is in a closed position and the marine outboard engine is in the tilt range, pivoting the marine outboard engine upwardly to a first engine position causes the bumper to abut a bottom surface of the hatch. Pivoting the marine outboard engine upwardly from the first engine position to a second engine position causes the bumper to push up on the bottom surface of the hatch and to slide against the bottom surface of the hatch, thereby pivoting the hatch from the closed position to an open position.
Fixed mounted buoy system
A system includes a hole-through-middle (HTM) fender, a threaded rod passing through the fender such that the fender is configured to rotate with respect to the rod about an axis, a protective sheath surrounding the rod, and first and second mounting brackets into which the rod is threaded.

MOTORIZED FLOATING PICNIC TABLE
A floating motorized picnic table includes a floatation device; a base; benches attached to the base; tabletop supports; a tabletop attached to the tabletop supports; a motor; and a battery electrically connected to the motor. The base frames and rests upon the floatation device. The benches include bench boards attached above and parallel to the floatation device. The tabletop supports are attached between the benches. The tabletop includes top boards. The battery is mounted on the base under the top boards. The motor is mounted at one end with a retractable keel located adjacent to the opposite end.

ADJUSTABLE MARINE FENDER HOLDER
Varying implementations of adjustable marine fender holders are disclosed, which may receive a length of rope and hold it in place so that a marine fender may be adjusted to a desired height and then fixed in place without having to untie or retie the length of rope. Holders include a friction fit feature for engaging with a nautical cleat, and a rope channel through which a rope may be passed so that a proximal end of the rope may be wedged into a set of teeth or ridges to hold the rope in place. Another holder includes a single wedged arm that may be wedged underneath a cross bar of a cleat. Yet another holder includes a collapsible friction pad that may be wedged into a cleat. Yet another holder includes a compressible friction pad that may be wedged into a cleat.
BOAT BUMPER/FENDER HOLDER
A boat bumper holder for retaining and/or storing one or more boat bumpers onboard of a watercraft so that the boat bumpers may be easily and/or readily stored, identified, and deployed. The holder includes parallel columns that support upper and lower plates which each define cut-outs allowing for the insertion of boat bumpers. The upper and lower plates may also have additional fender cut- outs attached to them and which align with each other to permit easy and ready storage of additional boat bumpers. The cut-outs of the upper and lower plates and of the fender cut-outs may vary in geometry (e.g., to allow the insertion of boat bumpers of various shapes and geometries).

Method and Apparatus For Installing a Boat Fender
A device that can be easily and releasably fixed, moved, and reattached in any desired location on a boat; and provides for the easy attachment and securing of multiple ropes or other fastening means, at the same time, which are then attached to a single or multiple boat fender(s) or other floatation device(s) to facilitate the proper placement and location of the boat fender(s) or other floatation device(s) in relation to the boat, as needed, in that location.
