Abstract: A cowling for enclosing a marine propulsion unit with a recess having a port that communicates air to the engine. A plate having spaced-apart openings is received on the port. A diverter screen covers the openings. The diverter screen is adapted for communicating air from the openings through the diverter screen to the port and for restricting flow of water therethrough.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a sugar cane planter pivotally mounted on the rear of a cane cart which automatically receives cane stalks sitting on their butt ends and pushed rearwardly of a cane cart where they are to be planted either whole or in cut lengths and are engaged at their base or butt ends and directed rearwardly with the butts rearwardly of their tips so that the cane stalks fall butt end rearwardly where they are engaged by cane orienting plates which impart an upward and rearward vector to the stalks either whole or cut to orient them with their major axis substantially parallel to the major axis of the cane cart and substantially parallel to the ground in which attitude they fall into a cane dispensing trough which has a mouth parallel to the major axis of the cane cart and positioned above an open planting furrow for receiving the stalk in its horizontal attitude.
