In water or on land, an innovative Dual Retractable Handlebar System with adjustable damping, allows the rider of Motorized Surf Boots to transition from a kneeling, to squatting, to standing, or vice versa, in one smooth articulated motion while keeping a continued grip on the handles and throttles.

Each handlebar of the pair is firmly connected to each boot (or board) safely behind the rider, with each handlebar extending around the outside of the rider to a comfortable and ergonomic position to grasp with each hand, providing the rider with the ability to impart body English on the left and right sides independently, in order to effectively steer his or her Motorized Surf Boots on water or on land.

Additionally, the pair of Handlebars of the present invention can be quickly locked in the retracted (or down) position, or quickly released for deployment in a range of up positions.

A tiller control for boats comprising a brake that holds a control line in a static position. In turn, the control line holds the tiller and rudder of the boat in a static position. The amount of pressure applied to the control line by the brake is adjustable. Pressure applied to the control line by the brake may be adjusted so that the tiller and rudder are held in a generally static position, but the tiller control can be manually overridden.

A boat includes a hull, a deck, a steering pole, and an information display. An engine is provided in the hull. The deck is mounted on an upper portion of the hull. The steering pole is swingably mounted to the deck via a pivot shaft. The information display is located on the deck in front of the pivot shaft.

An apparatus is for steering an outboard motor with respect to a marine vessel. The apparatus includes a transom bracket configured to support the outboard motor with respect to the marine vessel; a tiller for manually steering the outboard motor with respect to a steering axis; a steering arm extending above the transom bracket and coupling the tiller to the outboard motor such that rotation of the tiller causes rotation of the outboard motor with respect to the steering axis, wherein the steering arm is located above the transom bracket; and a copilot device configured to lock the outboard motor in each of a plurality of steering positions relative to the steering axis. The copilot device extends above and is manually operable from above the steering arm.

An underwater motive device includes a rear main housing including two opposite handle bar elements on two sides respectively, and longitudinal rear joining projections on an inner surface; a power mechanism in the rear main housing; a propeller driven by a driving shaft of the power mechanism; a bridging housing including a battery compartment, a forward joining member, a shoulder abutted the forward joining member, and a rear joining member; a hollow intermediate housing including two opposite handle bar members on two sides respectively, the handle bar members joined the handle bar elements, longitudinal front joining projections on an inner surface, and an internal annular limit element at a front end; and a front cone including a rear opening and a structure on an inner surface for securing to the forward joining member of the bridging housing.

An outboard motor includes a trolling mode. The outboard motor includes an outboard motor body including a propeller and a drive source, a tiller handle body extending forward from the outboard motor body, a grip handle extending from a front end surface of the tiller handle body and configured to steer the outboard motor body via the tiller handle body, and a trolling switch attached to the tiller handle body and configured to adjust a trolling speed. An operation portion of the trolling switch is attached to a lower front end surface of the tiller handle body, the lower front end surface being located below the grip handle.

A personal watercraft, driving control system, and method for controlling the watercraft. The watercraft includes a jet powered propulsion system; a steering system including a handle; and the driving control system including an electrically actuated device coupled to the steering system for applying torque to the steering system; at least one sensor positioned adjacent the steering system; and a controller. The controller is configured to: determine whether user torque is being applied to the steering system; and responsive to determining that the user torque is not being applied: determine a steering angle; determine a target angle for returning the steering system to a center position; compare the steering angle to the target angle; determine a centering torque; and operate the electrically actuated device to apply the centering torque to the steering, with the centering torque being applied only by the electrically actuated device.

Structural arrangement for a water ski or underwater ski comprising essential mechanisms for significantly improving the user experience in underwater wake bodyboarding. The ski is characterized by the addition of novel and different attachable items that enable the ski to be used without a powered vehicle. The ski is also characterized in that it has various different items that can be attached to the cowling to improve the performance and comfort of the equipment, combined with a personalized steering system and an essential safety system, providing a model that is unique on the underwater ski/water ski market.

A tiller system for steering an outboard motor. The tiller system includes a tiller arm that is rotatably coupled to the outboard motor. The tiller arm is rotatable from a down position to an up position through a plurality of lock positions therebetween. A tilt lock system is coupled between the tiller arm and the outboard motor and is configured to be activated and deactivated. When activated, the tilt lock system prevents the tiller arm from rotating downwardly through each of the plurality of lock positions. The tiller arm is further rotatable into an unlock position, whereby rotating the tiller arm into the unlock position automatically deactivates the tilt lock system such that the tiller arm is freely rotatable downwardly through the plurality of lock positions.

An electric inboard motor for a boat, includes a main body, a motor, a motor controller, a motor mounting base, a paddle, a paddle shall, a speed-adjusting handle assembly and a main body overturning locking mechanism. The speed-adjusting handle assembly further includes a speed-adjusting handle spindle, an axle sleeve, a handle sleeve, a button, a spring and at stop block; one end of a handle shell is fixedly connected with the stop block, and the handle sleeve abuts against a stepped face of the stop block, the speed-adjusting handle spindle is connected with the handle shell in a rotation manner, the speed-adjusting handle spindle is connected with the axle sleeve through a first pin, the axle sleeve is fixedly connected with the button, and the axle sleeve is connected with the stop block in a rotation manner and connected with the handle sleeve.
