Abstract: The present invention relates to passive restraint devices that are designed to reduce the ability of an operator to gain access to a cable or battery connection before disconnecting the cable from a power supply while simultaneously informing the operator of the inherent dangers present at the cable connection.

Abstract: The boat has a circular hull which rotatably supports an overlying deck and its attached pedestal seat for rotation about an upright axis concentric with the center axis of the hull. For steering the boat, an electrically powered trolling motor secured to the deck is turned into a new selected direction of travel by the operator merely swiveling his seat, causing rotation of the deck relative to the hull and avoiding the need to turn the hull itself within the water. Preferably, the motor is built into the seat assembly in such a way that when the operator sits on the seat, the motor is depressed down out of a storage recess on the underside of the boat and into an operating position, and when the operator is off the seat, the motor is spring biased back up into its stored position within the recess.
