Abstract: A small, personal watercraft having an improved ventilating system that provides not only ventilating air but also a shroud for an instrument of the watercraft. A compact exhaust system is also provided that extends on opposite sides of a tunnel in which the jet propulsion unit which powers the watercraft is positioned. Transfer pipes extend across the tunnel and across the watercraft to transfer the exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold to the watercraft trap device and also for providing traps to preclude water from entering the engine through the exhaust system.

Abstract: A small water powered surface watercraft that is very compact in nature inasmuch as it has only a partial deck for accommodating the upper torso of a rider and passenger in side by side fashion. The watercraft is powered by an electric motor and battery contained within a hatch at the forward portion of the watercraft. An embodiment that employs two powering electric motors and separate controls is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hull configuration for a small personal watercraft having a hull configuration that permits the watercraft to be ridden and leaned like a motorcycle and which will preclude excess spray from passing upward beyond the gunnel. A ventilating cover assembly is provided for accessing the engine compartment and a forwardly positioned fuel tank is incorporated having a filler neck that is accessible at one side of the deck.

Abstract: A small watercraft adapted to seat one or more riders in motorcycle fashion and which has a hull configured so as to facilitate leaning without capsizing. The foot area for the riders is such that a rider may either sit on the seat in straddle fashion or stand behind the seat and may move between these positions easily and while the watercraft is in motion.

Abstract: A bumper mounting structure in which a vertical parting line is defined between a bumper and a part of a vehicle body such as a fender. In order to control the width of the parting line, the mounting structure comprises a first member attached to the bumper, a second member attached to the fender and coupled to the first member for sliding engagement therebetween so as to permit a relative motion along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle body, and a screw member threaded to one of the members and abuts the other member for adjusting the relative distance therebetween. By turning this screw member, the width of the vertical parting line can be adjusted to an optimum value and a favorable unified appearance is produced between the bumper and the fender.
