20250042512 · 2025-02-06 ·

A watercraft comprising a hull, a roof, a support including a first end coupled to the roof and a second end positioned within the hull, and an actuation assembly coupled to the support. The support is moveable between a first position and a second position in response to activation of the actuation assembly. The support extends into the hull a first distance in the first position and a second distance in the second position. The second distance is larger than the first distance.

Walkthrough door for marine vessel

An improved walkthrough door is disclosed for a marine vessel comprising a curved roof with a windshield disposed in the curved roof proximate a foredeck of the marine vessel. A transparent walkthrough door is slidably mounted in the curved roof and moveable between a closed position, whereat the walkthrough door seals with the foredeck and an open position permitting access to the foredeck. Preferably, the walkthrough door is electrically operated.

Watercraft for leisure use

An object is to provide a technique related to a small watercraft that can prevent water from entering an inboard section through air intake ports. A small watercraft for leisure use is configured to obtain thrust by driving a propeller with an engine serving as a power source and includes an air intake port configured to introduce air into an engine room in an inboard section from the outside, and a radar arm configured to support a radar. The air intake port is positioned on the inner side with respect to the radar arm.

RETRACTABLE ROOF

A retractable roof includes a pair of tracks oriented lengthwise along opposite sides of an opening, a plurality of traveler cars displaceable on the tracks manually or by motor, and a plurality of bows coupled with the traveler cars and extending between the tracks and across the opening. The bows are displaceable with the traveler cars between a closed position and an opened position. A roof material sized to cover the opening is secured to the bows.

Systems and methods for controlling convertible bimini tops for marine vessels

Convertible bimini top systems are for a marine vessel having a deck and being situated in a body of water. The systems have a bimini top having a cover configured to extend over the deck, an actuator configured to raise and lower the cover relative to the deck, a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator, the controller being configured to operate the actuator to raise and lower the cover relative to the deck, and a sensor communicatively coupled to the controller, the sensor being configured to sense an obstruction proximate to the marine vessel. The controller is configured to automatically operate the actuator to lower the cover when the sensor senses the obstruction proximate to the marine vessel. Methods are for controlling the convertible bimini top to lower the cover relative to the deck based on the existence of the obstruction.

Watercraft with tower storage

A watercraft comprising a hull and a tower assembly coupled to the hull. The tower assembly includes a cover with a front end, a rear end, a top side, and a bottom side. The tower assembly further includes a storage area with a plurality of straps coupled to the bottom side. The plurality of straps is spaced apart along a column axis that extends from the front end to the rear end. Each of the plurality of straps is elastically deformable.

Watercraft with adjustable tower assembly
