Abstract: A motor includes a frame, a shaft rotatably mounted onto the frame, and at least one disc mounted onto the shaft. At least one permanent magnet is mounted on the disc, and at least one electromagnet and at least one coil are mounted to the frame in rotational magnetic proximity to the permanent magnet. A battery is connectable to the electromagnet and the coil for energizing the electromagnet and for receiving electrical current from the coil for charging the battery. A relay switch controls the transmission of electrical power from the battery to the electromagnet. A sensor generates a signal to the relay switch to activate electrical power to the electromagnet upon sensing that the permanent magnet is positioned with respect to the electromagnet such that a magnetic force generated by the electromagnet would be effective for inducing movement of the permanent magnet and consequent rotation of the disc.

Abstract: An electromagnetic motor having a frame, and at least one disc rotatably mounted to the frame. At least one permanent magnet is mounted on the disc, and at least one electromagnet is mounted to the frame in magnetic proximity to the at least one permanent magnet. A battery is electrically coupled to the motor for powering the at least one electromagnet. A switch controls electrical power between the battery and the at least one electromagnet, and a sensing means is provided for controlling the switch to activate the at least one electromagnet with respect to the at least one permanent magnet to cause the at least one disc to rotate. Preferably, a generator is mechanically coupled to the motor and electrically coupled to the battery for generating electrical power to the battery, and a renewable energy source such as a photovoltaic cell is electrically coupled to the motor to supplement any net electrical loss.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling a live well includes a cooling chamber, and a pump connected in fluid communication between the cooling chamber and the live well for circulating water between the live well and the cooling chamber. At least one thermoelectric cooler is positioned in a heat exchange relationship with the cooling chamber for removing heat from the cooling chamber and from water circulating in the cooling chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus having at least one paw hingedly attached to a compartment side of a lid configured for covering a hatch of a compartment. At least one catch is positioned on a wall of said hatch for engagingly receiving the at least one paw. A spring is positioned for urging engagement of the paw with the catch. The paw includes an angled portion which, upon closing of the lid, rotates the paw to allow the lid to be closed over the hatch and the paw to then engage the catch. A user may rotate the paw to disengage the paw from the catch, to thereby open the lid.

Abstract: A boat motor mounting device is provided for mounting an outboard motor to a transom of a boat. A transom portion of the mount is adapted for fastening securely to the transom of the boat at a transom base from which a vertical side projects perpendicular to the transom base. A motor mounting portion is provided adapted for fastening securely to a motor at a motor base from which a vertical side projects perpendicular to the motor base. A vertical slide guide structure is formed for mating engagement between the transom side projection and the motor side projection. The vertical slide guide includes an elongated vertical protrusion and an elongated vertical groove, both of which are sized for overlapping, adjustable vertical sliding engagement. A releasable locking mechanism is provided to hold the elongated vertical protrusion and vertical groove in a desired fixed position so that the motor is held in the fixed position relative to the boat.

Abstract: A pedestal mount for detachable attachment of a pedestal to a boat deck, including a shallow channel for mounting substantially flush with the deck, a vertical pedestal having an attached horizontal base plate sized for insertion into the shallow channel and for sliding there along into rigid engagement in the shallow channel, and a latch for detachably holding the base plate in rigid engagement in the shallow channel.
