In certain implementations, a ship propulsion system includes: at least one internal combustion engine with: a combustion chamber for burning a fuel; an intake tract for supplying fresh air to the combustion chamber; and a turbocharger with a compressor in the in-take tract; an electrolysis device for producing hydrogen gas for the internal combustion engine and for producing oxygen gas; an alcohol tank for supplying alcohols to the internal combustion engine; and a water tank, wherein the water tank and the alcohol tank are connected to the combustion chamber or a pressure side of the compressor for the supply of water and alcohol into the intake tract, and wherein the electrolysis device is connected to the pressure side of the compressor for supplying hydrogen gas into the intake tract or connected to the combustion chamber for supplying hydrogen gas into the combustion chamber.

A vessel (1) comprises a hull (2) including a bow (3) and a stern (4) and has a length-to-beam ratio which is smaller than 10:1, preferably smaller than 5:1. The hull (2) has a vertical centre plane (CP) extending in a direction from the bow (3) to the stern (4). At each side of the centre plane (CP) the vessel (1) has at least two azimuth thrusters (6) including respective propellers (6a), which azimuth thrusters (6) are located next to each other in transverse direction of the centre plane (CP). Each azimuth thruster (6) drivably coupled to its own prime mover (7).

A boat includes a hull, a deck, and a bow hatch. An engine compartment is provided in the hull. The deck is mounted on an upper portion of the hull. The deck includes an air inlet port that opens rearward to supply air to the engine compartment. The bow hatch is attached to the deck. The bow hatch includes a wall that faces the air inlet port.

A small planing watercraft with an imaging device includes: the imaging device incorporated in the small planing watercraft, and capturing an image of surroundings of the small planing watercraft; and a display device incorporated in the small planing watercraft at a location where the display device is recognizable by an operator of the small planing watercraft, and displaying the image of surroundings captured by the imaging device.

A tool for disassembling and assembling bearings which support an engine mounting frame of an internal combustion engine, is mounted on a base, a bearing having opposing metal securing plates and a resiliently deformable damping element extending between the securing plates, said tool comprising opposing, parallel mounting plates, each mounting plate being mountable on a securing plate of a bearing to be dissassembled or assembled, and comprising a turnbuckle, via which the opposing mounting plates are operatively connected.

A boat includes a propulsion device that generates, by driving of an engine, a propulsive force to propel a boat body, a trim changer that changes a trim angle of the boat body, a trim actuator that drives the trim changer, and a controller configured or programmed to control operation of the trim actuator based on a value corresponding to a change in a boat speed.

A jet pump assembly includes a marine engine, a jet drive and a shield adapted to be secured to a transom of a watercraft. The shield has arms to which the marine engine is secured and legs to which an intake mount is secured. The jet drive is supported by the intake mount. The shield has at least one flange adapted to be secured to a middle toon of a pontoon boat. The shield covers an opening in the middle toon through which the marine engine is passed during assembly. A gasket between the shield and opening prevents water from entering the middle toon.
