  • Patent number: 6854414
    Abstract: A pontoon boat gate latch assembly includes a bolt assembly and a bolt mounting assembly. The bolt mounting assembly is adapted to be connected to a pontoon boat gate or frame rail so that the bolt assembly can be used to lock the gate in a closed position by inserting a bolt included in the bolt subassembly through a gate rail opening defined in the gate and a frame rail opening defined in the boat frame. The latch assembly also includes gate and frame sleeves that are adapted to be inserted into the gate and frame rail openings to eliminate rattling. The latch assembly further includes an alignment stop that is adapted to be connected to the pontoon boat adjacent to the bolt mounting assembly and to cause the gate to stop at a position that aligns the bolt and the frame and gate rail openings.

  • Patent number: 5707262
    Abstract: A system for controlling adjustment of the outboard drive unit of a boat by operation of switches mounted on the steering wheel of the boat. The system provides an "up switch, a "down" switch and a transmitter, each of which is adapted for attachment adjacent the gripping portion of the steering wheel. The transmitter provides wireless command signals to a receiver which is adapted for mounting behind the dashboard of the boat. The receiver in response to reception of the signals actuates an relay interface which in turn actuates a selected "up" or "down" trim relay which is a standard component on boats for which the kit is intended. The actuated trim relay provides electrical power to a conventional boat trim drive mechanism which in accordance with the switch command adjusts the position of the drive unit of the boat.
