Abstract: A protective cover for equipment, in particular for welding apparatuses, includes a front panel (1) and at least two side panels, each having a main part (31, 41), the side panels being connected to one another in order to form a tubular surrounding member and the side panels being connected to the front panel. In order to adapt easily the cover to equipment of different sizes, at least one of the side panels has a flap (23, 33, 43, 53) which can be folded and fastened on one of the side panels so as to close the cover. The front part of the equipment is protected by the front panel, to which are fastened the side panels connected to one another. At the rear part, which is less exposed, the flap of a side panel is folded and fastened on one of the side panels by the fastening means.

Abstract: A watercraft kit includes a watercraft and a buoyant removable rear extension optionally connected to a rear of the watercraft. The watercraft includes a hull having a transom and a deck disposed above the hull. The deck is supported by the hull. A propulsion system is operatively connected to an engine for expelling a stream of water rearward of the transom to propel the watercraft. When the removable extension is connected to the rear of the watercraft, the removable rear extension is disposed at least in part rearwardly of the transom. The removable rear extension defines a longitudinal channel. When the removable extension is connected to the rear of the watercraft, the channel receives at least one of at least a portion of the propulsion system, and at least a portion of the stream of water flowing therethrough when the propulsion system is operating to propel the watercraft forwardly.

Abstract: A marine outboard engine includes an engine having a front, back, top and two lateral sides. A cowling, covering the engine at least partially, includes a central support structure fixedly connected to at least one of the engine, a swivel bracket, and an exhaust system. The central support structure extending across at least a portion of the front, top and back of the engine defines at least partially a space through which at least a portion of at least one of its lateral sides is accessible. The space is selectively covered by at least one side panel which is at least partially selectively connected to the central support structure and at least partially disconnectable therefrom to reveal the portion of the at least one of the lateral sides of the engine while the central support structure extends across at least the portion of the front, top and back thereof.
