A leash system and methods of use are provided that includes a leash cord configured to be affixed at a first end portion to a user of a personal watercraft, a switch cord, and an anchoring cord. The switch cord has a first end portion affixed to a key for connection to a kill switch of the watercraft and a second end portion affixed to the leash cord. The anchoring cord has a first end portion configured to fixedly secure the anchoring cord to the watercraft and a second end portion affixed to the leash cord. A loop is affixed in preferred examples along the anchoring cord that is configured to slidably receive the switch cord therethrough. When the leash cord is pulled taut while the anchoring cord is fixedly secured to the watercraft, the first end portion of the switch cord is drawn toward the loop to remove the key from the kill switch.

A vehicle for assisting a docking operation for a marine vessel. The vehicle includes a position sensor operable to detect a position of the marine vessel. A first controller is communicatively coupled with the position sensor. The first controller is operable to receive a first instruction from a second controller corresponding to the marine vessel to monitor the position sensor. The first controller is further operable to receive positional data corresponding to the position of the marine vessel relative to a dock. The first controller is further operable to communicate the positional data to the second controller to assist with the docking operation.

There is described a watercraft comprising a housing having a hull and a deck, the hull shaped to cause the watercraft to operate in a displacement state and a planing state, a powerplant in the housing, and a propulsion device drivingly engaged to the powerplant to generate a propulsive force to propel the watercraft. A controller is configured for monitoring an operational parameter of the watercraft, the watercraft having a range-efficient operating regime following a transition of the watercraft from the displacement state to the planing state, the operational parameter having an optimal state for the range-efficient operating regime. A user interface is coupled to the controller and configured for providing a visual indication of a status of the watercraft in relation to the range-efficient operating regime.

Methods and systems for operating powersport vehicles during an operator-vehicle separation condition are provided. One method includes detecting the operator-vehicle separation condition using a first tetherless criterion and a second tetherless criterion. In response to detecting the operator-vehicle separation condition using both the first tetherless criterion and the second tetherless criterion, the method includes preventing propulsion of the powersport vehicle.

The purpose is to provide an image generating device which generates a synthesized image from which one is able to intuitively grasp a relation between an image and a traveling position of a water-surface movable body. The image generating device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires attitude information indicative of an attitude of a camera or a ship where the camera is installed. The processing circuitry acquires a traveling route of the ship based on a detection result of at least one of a position and a direction of the ship. The processing circuitry generates traveling route display data based on the attitude information and the traveling route. The processing circuitry generates a synthesized image in which the traveling route display data is synthesized with an image outputted from the camera.
