20100012814 | Mounting for an Outboard Engine - A mounting for fastening an outboard engine on a boat, in particular a kayak, has a support arm with a first fastening element for fastening the support arm on the boat. The first fastening element is a clamping device for receiving and fixing a knob on the boat. | 01-21-2010 |
20100032545 | Trolling motor mount - An apparatus for mounting a trolling motor to a watercraft includes a bracket, a coupling hinge, a lift arm, a cam mechanism, a collet, a resistance knob, a first bias spring and a second bias spring. The bracket is adapted to mount on a transom or a gunnel of the watercraft. The coupling hinge receives a shaft of the trolling motor therethrough and retains the trolling motor via the collet and resistance knob mounted thereon. The collet and knob can be selectively tightened or loosened about the shaft of the trolling motor. The bracket defines detents and an arcuate track in which a track follower portion of the coupling hinge can move. The movement of the coupling hinge along the bracket tilts the trolling motor between a stowed position and a deployed position. The lift arm is pivotally coupled to the coupling hinge and carries a locking pin. The lift arm is biased by the first bias spring such that the locking pin engages the detents. The cam mechanism is pivotally coupled to the bracket and is biased by the second bias spring to disengage the locking pin from a lower portion of the detents. | 02-11-2010 |

20100127150 | Outboard Motor Mount - The object of this invention is to alter speed and handling characteristics of an outboard motor boat. This Improved Outboard Motor Mount achieves this with the ability to adjust the distance between the outboard motor and the stern of the boat. Consequently, this movement uses the weight of the outboard motor as leverage to adjust the centre of gravity of the vessel to suit water conditions. Setting the outboard motor close to the stern of the boat will make the bow of the boat more difficult to lift, thus improving its handling performance in rough water. Setting the outboard away from the stern of the boat will make the bow of the boat easy to lift, improving boat speed. This Improved Outboard Motor Mount allows the consumer to optimize their outboard motor boats performance in a variety of water conditions. | 05-27-2010 |
