摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for lifting and stowing water-borne vessels. The systems and methods can be used, for example, to lift a small vessel, such an inflatable dinghy, onto a larger water-borne vessel equipped with an outboard motor; and to stow the dinghy above the outboard motor. The systems and methods permit the dinghy to be lifted out of the water from a position behind the larger vessel, with any need to remove, disassemble, or move the outboard motor.

The present invention relates to a pusher mechanism comprising a column (1) capable of being subjected to a compressive force or a pulling force when in use and having a height (H) defining a first direction, a width (l) and a thickness (E), the thickness (E) being constant, the height (H) being variable, when in use, between a quiescent value (H0) and a maximum value (HM) and the width (l) being variable, when in use, between a quiescent value (l0) and a minimum value (lin), the column comprising two vertical members (2, 3) facing each other and extending along the height (H) and the thickness (E), and reversible means (6) supported by the vertical members and designed to transform a compressive force exerted on the vertical members along the width (l) of the column into a movement along the first direction of the column, the width (l) of which subsequently decreases (l H0), and vice versa.

A launching ramp for boats, float planes and the like has several ramp segments that are in normal use of the ramp, generally aligned and sloping downwardly into a body of water. To enable the easy removal of the ramp from the body of water, the ramp segments are hinged and equipped with stops so that when a cable is connected to the outermost end of the ramp, pulling in on the cable will pivot the outermost end segment upwardly until the stops limit this pivotal movement with respect to the next segment, whereupon the second segment will pivot upwardly to its stop position and so on. As the cable is drawn in, the ramp is rolled up towards the shore. The installation of the ramp is a reverse process of unrolling the ramp into the water. With appropriate modification the ramp may be used as a roll-up dock.

A marine propulsion system that utilizes a transmission shift sequence to control shifting of the propulsion system transmission between forward and reverse gears. The marine propulsion system includes a controller that executes the transmission shift sequence using engine speed and transmission fluid pressure signals to determine the timing of various steps in the shift sequence. The controller is connected to a shift actuator for the transmission and to an engine speed throttle to thereby control transmission shifting and engine speed as a part of the transmission shift sequence. By monitoring engine speed and transmission fluid pressure, and by controlling transmission shifting and engine speed settings, the transmission shift sequence can provide the operator with the ability to carry out quick shifts that will neither stall the engine nor damage the transmission clutch.

A cockpit canopy seperably coupled to a superstructure of a boat selectively convertible to a flotation device comprising a buoyant member including an inner surface having a ridge extending outwardly therefrom to cooperatively form an auxiliary cockpit with at least one attachment element formed on each side of the buoyant member and a corresponding coupling element movable between a first and second position mounted on opposite sides of the superstructure to engage the corresponding attachment element when in the first position to secure the buoyant member to the superstructure and to disengage the corresponding attachment element when moved from the first position to the second position to release the buoyant member from the superstructure for deployment as a flotation device in a body of water.
