A marine helm seat includes a seat base positionable within a marine vessel. The marine helm seat also includes a seat back extending from the seat base in an upward direction from a longitudinal axis of the seat base. Further, the marine helm seat includes an actuation mechanism that reclines the seat back in response to a reclining force acting on the seat back. The actuation mechanism is also able to lock the seat back in a reclined position. Additionally, the actuation mechanism is positioned on an underside of the seat base.

A multiple position convertible seat assembly for a boat includes three seat frames pivotally coupled to the boat and to each other to move from a first position as a seat, a second position as a lounge seat with leg support, and a third position forming another seat. In the third position, the seat includes a foldout cushion exposing a work surface.

A boat seat accessory stand includes a main support member, a sleeve member, a lower brace member, and an upper brace member for attaching an umbrella or other accessory to a typical pedestal mount boat seat. The boat seat accessory stand provides for support and rotation of the attached umbrella around the boat seat.

This invention relates to a generally molded fiberglass apparatus that serves a multipurpose function for inflatable boats. The apparatus attaches to the bow of the boat and includes a forward passenger seat with a backrest and optionally servers to provide a step for embarking or disembarking the boat at the bow, and location for affixing one or more marine navigational or safety devices or accessories. The invention is affixed to the inner bow section of the passenger area to an inflatable tubular member craft by a permanent or semi-permanent means including, but not limited to clamps, adhesives, bolts, clips, snaps, ties, ratchets, or a combination thereof. The apparatus is shaped to conform to the topside bow curvature of the inflatable boat and to the adjacent concave curvature on the substantially vertical section within the passenger area at the bow of the inflatable boat, utilizing the craft's structure as the seated area.

A fiberglass pontoon boat, having raised and integrated fiberglass side rails, a flat floor, and a side entry level with the flat floor. Integrated seats are molded in fiberglass. The hull and deck join together by flexing the hull to compensate for opposing draft angles of the hull and deck at the side entry. The deck has a floor and at least one other interior component, and terminates in a deck trim flange. The hull has at least two hollow pontoons and at least two side rails that extend from an outer edge of the pontoons, and the hull terminates in a hull trim flange. When assembled, the hull trim flange operatively engages beneath the deck trim flange to form a unified pontoon boat having a space between the deck and hull and wherein the side rails are integrated as structural parts of the interior component.

Cushions for use in seating for boats and methods of using the same. According to one embodiment, the cushion is designed for use with a bucket-type boat seat and includes an insert and a casing. The insert has a J-shape and is made up of three foam pads joined to one another, with a first of the foam pads designed to be positioned over the boat seat, with a second of the foam pads designed to be positioned in front of the boat seat, and with a third of the foam pads designed to be positioned under the boat seat. The casing preferably conforms substantially to the shape of the insert and is designed to permit the insert to be inserted into and/or removed from the casing. The cushion additionally includes a fastener coupled to the casing for use in securing the casing to the boat seat.

An inflatable boat comprises a body and a tube. The tube is located adjacent to the body. A tensioning member is located between the body and the tube. The tensioning member couples the body to the tube such that a top surface of the body and a top surface of the tube are coplanar. The body can define at least one footrest groove to allow a user to lean and rest their feet on the body.

A personal watercraft has a hull, a deck, a motor, a motor control unit operatively connected to the motor for controlling at least one parameter associated with the motor, a seat assembly including a seat portion selectively connected to the deck, and a raised seating system including a seat support selectively connected to the deck for selectively supporting the seat portion above the deck. A sensor is connected to at least one of the hull and the deck and is communicating with the motor control unit. In response to the seat support being connected to the deck, the sensor detects a presence of the seat support, and in response to the sensor detecting the presence of the seat support, the motor control unit limits at least one of the at least one parameter associated with the motor. A method for adjusting performance of a personal watercraft is also provided.

A seat including a backrest defining a first surface and a second surface, the second surface including an opening, the backrest including a table movable between a folded position in which the table closes off the opening, and a deployed position in which the opening is clear, the backrest including a locking device operable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, the locking device being configured, in the locked configuration, to keep the table in its folded position, and, in the unlocked configuration, to allow a movement of the table toward its deployed position, wherein the locking device includes a lock that can be actuated in order to operate the locking device between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration.

A watercraft includes at least one floating member, a central frame supported thereon, first and second foot platforms, and first and second handlebars. The first and second handlebars define elongated configurations and include grasping end portions, intermediate portions pivotably coupled to the central frame, and base end portions pivotably coupled to first end portions of the respective first and second foot platforms. A propulsion system includes an axle assembly, first and second rotating arms, and first and second oars. The rotating arms are fixed relative to one another, pivotably coupled about the axle assembly at first ends, and pivotably coupled to second end portions of the foot platforms at second ends. The oars are engaged with and extend from the foot platforms. The propulsion system cycles the oars approximately 180 degrees out of phase to propel the watercraft while maintaining substantially perpendicular orientation of the oars.
