Abstract: A dynamic adaptive ballasting system for selectively positioning batteries within the hull of a watercraft. For pontoon boats, the ballasting system may be disposed in a pontoon log, for example a middle pontoon log disposed between two outer pontoon logs. The ballasting system enables the balance and weight distribution of the watercraft to be dynamically adjusted for enhanced stability and performance.

Abstract: A pontoon boat having a battery stowage system for suspension of batteries in a pontoon. The system provides sufficient clearance between the batteries and a bottom interior of the pontoon to enable water that may enter the pontoon to pass under the batteries for discharge, for example with a bilge pump. The stowage system providing for positioning the batteries in a stowed position below the deck in a pontoon and for translating the batteries upwardly to a deck access opening. The system may provide ease of access during installation and service of the batteries while protecting the batteries from elements that may be present in the enclosure.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a cooled wireless mobile device charger. As an example, a cooling enclosure is provided, comprising a cooling surface. The cooling enclosure may shield a mobile device therein from direct sunlight or other adverse conditions, thereby reducing the heat exposure of the device. The cooling surface may comprise a thermoelectric cooling element or any of a variety of other cooling means. Additionally, the cooling surface may be angled about a lateral axis to enable a user to more easily view at least a part of the mobile device (e.g., in a landscape or portrait orientation) while the device is in the cooling enclosure. In some instances, a detachable visor is provided that further shields the mobile device from sunlight. As another example, the visor may retract within the cooling enclosure.
