Each of a right grill support and a left grill support of a pair of grill supports has a linear base rod and an upper support attached to a top surface of the base rod. The base rod of each of the right grill support and the left grill support is disposed within the cavity. A plurality of magnets is disposed within a middle segment of the upper support of each of the right grill support and the left grill support. At least one cup holder unit is disposed within the cavity of the float. A portable outdoor grill is removably securable to the plurality of magnets.

A multi-purpose personal watercraft for deployment in different configurations as desired by a user. The multi-purpose personal watercraft comprises a base frame which forms a watercraft base which includes side extensions, an aft floor board, and a bow portion, as well as two opposing mirror image side floats with which the base frame is selectively integrated. When in place, the opposing side floats form the multi-purpose personal watercraft's U shaped hull and enable the selective attachment of a rudder assembly behind the multi-purpose personal watercraft's stern. With respect to propulsion, base frame is configured to enable the selective deployment of pedal propellers, a user's legs, or a trolling motor. A dual steering system enables the control of up to two discrete steering mechanisms from a single position on the watercraft.

An underwater propulsive device of a watercraft including a flotation unit on which a user rides. The propulsion device includes: a hollow body coupled to the flotation unit through a strut and extending in a propulsive direction of the watercraft, the inside of the hollow body being divided into a first compartment and a second compartment; a motor in the first compartment; a propeller in the second compartment; and a power transfer shaft extending in the propulsive direction and connecting the motor and the propeller to each other. The first compartment has a waterproof structure. The second compartment has a water inlet disposed closer to the bow than the propeller is and extending along a circumference of the power transfer shaft and a water jet outlet disposed at a stern-side end of the second compartment. The propeller is smaller than the first compartment in diameter.

Boat configurations and implementations are provided to make it more accessible for disabled people to participate in boating, commercial or recreational. A boat engine may be positioned in front of the helm, a flat boat deck may allow access to the engine and helm by a person in a wheelchair or similar physical impairment, and a flat access to the boat deck at the stern of the boat may allow disabled people to easily get on board.

A small watercraft includes an input, a second storage, and a controller. The input receives an operation to switch the small watercraft into one of a plurality of control states, and includes a first storage that stores first control information indicating the one of the plurality of control states associated with the operation received by the input. The second storage stores second control information indicating one of the plurality of control states. The controller is able to write to one of the first and second storages. The input is supplied with electric power by supplying the controller with the electric power. When the one of the plurality of control states indicated by the first control information is different from the one of the plurality of control states indicated by the second control information, the controller causes one of the first control information and the second control information stored in the one of the first and second storages to match the other of the first control information and the second control information stored in the other of the first and second storages.

A watercraft includes a deck and a hull having a transom, right and left side portions a tunnel, and a bottom portion. An air intake system disposed in the engine compartment and fluidly communicating with an engine includes an air compressor and an intercooler. The intercooler includes a housing having a lower surface extending generally along the bottom hull portion, an upper surface extending thereabove, an intercooler air inlet, an intercooler air outlet spaced from the intercooler air inlet at least in a direction parallel to the lower surface, a water inlet, and a water outlet. An intercooler core enclosed within the housing defines at least one air channel fluidly communicating with the intercooler air inlet and the intercooler air outlet. At least one water channel fluidly communicating with the water inlet and outlet is diathermally connected with the at least one air channel for cooling air flowing therein.

Disclosed herein are Melloship personal watercraft, optionally motorized, which are designed to be very comfortable and promote personal relaxation, and even allow one to doze off and nap while maintaining personal safety.

A method of making laminate foam material is provided. The laminate foam material includes a layer of non-foam material sandwiched between two layers of foam material. The non-foam material is bonded to the foam material, such as with a bonding agent and/or by heating respective surfaces of the foam material until the surface softens or melts. When a heating process is utilized, the non-foam material is pressed against the softened or melted foam material. As the foam material begins to cool, the non-foam material becomes bonded to the foam material. The non-foam material is narrower than the foam material and is positioned relative to the foam material such that the edges of the non-foam material are concealed by the foam material. Foam products, such as foam mats, can be formed from the laminate foam material by cutting across the width of the foam material.

The subject invention relates to a method for affixing two or more structures to be used in connection with a floating dock, stationary dock, gang plank, swim platform, or the like. The subject invention more specifically discloses a deck structure which is comprised of one or more sections which are adapted to be interconnected, wherein said sections are comprised of a frame, and a deck, wherein the frame is comprised of a first box-channel on a first side of the frame, a second box-channel on the second side of the frame, and at least two self-squaring cross braces, wherein the self-squaring cross braces are attached to both the first side and the second side of the frame, and wherein the deck is attached to the top side of the frame.

A retractable anchor fixture for accessories is described. The retractable anchor fixture is adapted for being movably disposed in a surface aperture in a surface and includes a fixture body, a fixture base extending from the fixture body, the fixture base including a stopper portion adapted for abutting an edge of the surface aperture, a first aperture defined by the fixture body, the first aperture being adapted to receive therethrough a portion of an anchor for anchoring an accessory to the anchor fixture, and an anchor chamber defined by the fixture body and communicating with the first aperture. An anchor fixture system including a retractable anchor fixture is also described.
