Abstract: A stop log slot/guide cleaning method and apparatus is disclosed as a frame with attached scraping or scrubbing devices attached in locations that will contact and shear off attached marine life or debris. A flushing system that using water or compressed air or both attached and located on the frame pushes the removed or loose debris off of the stop log slot/guide seating surfaces as the frame is lowered into or removed from the slot leaving clean flat sealing surfaces for the stop log seals to seal against.

Abstract: A decoy rig 100 is described having a number of individual decoys 102 deployed at intervals along the length of a shaft 104. The decoys 102 are deployed at an angle relative to the shaft 104 axis, and oriented around the shaft 104 diameter similar to the blades of a turbine rotor in relation to a turbine shaft. When driven by natural forces the anchor 110 holds decoy rig 100 in place against water or air flow inducing a differential pressure across the decoys 102 providing the motive force to rotate the decoy rig 100. In operation, the decoy rig 100 floats centered at or near the water surface and is moved by external forces such as wind, water current or tide, or may be mechanically driven thus causing 360 degree revolution movement by the individual decoys 102, effectively simulating the diving and feeding action of the decoy's live counterparts.

Abstract: A decoy rig is disclosed having a number of individual decoys deployed at intervals along the length of a shaft, and oriented around the diameter of a shaft. The decoys may be deployed at an angle relative to vertical. In operation, the individual decoys are caused to move by external forces, such as wind, water current or tide, or other forces, thus causing rotational movement by the individual decoys, effectively simulating the resting and feeding action of the decoy's live counterparts.
