Abstract: A water diverter for outboard marine motors is presented. In one embodiment, the water diverter is adapted to be secured to a transom bracket which includes a portion adapted to be mounted on a boat transom. The water diverter includes a body and a bracket. The body has a horizontal deflection plate with a triangular shape. Two vertical deflection plates extend upward along the edges of the horizontal deflection plate. The bracket includes a horizontal mounting surface having a triangular shape. Two vertical attachment walls extend downward along the sides of the horizontal mounting surface. The bracket is sized to fit within the body with alignment of attachment openings of the vertical deflection plates and attachment holes of the vertical attachment walls determining a fastener-based selectively adjustable vertical displacement between the horizontal deflection plate and the horizontal mounting surface.

Abstract: A ladder attachment having a base member slideably attached to lock member, a pivot mount pivotally attached to the lock member and a surface defining a lock port which is optimally configured to be orientated to slide upon the lock member when in a stored orientation such that when the base member and pivot mount is slideably repositioned with respect to the lock member, a ladder assembly which is attached to the pivot mount is in a stored orientation. The ladder assembly has an extended and retracted orientation.

Abstract: A portable boarding ladder is attached to a rubberized portion of an inflatable boat without the use of piercing fasteners and does not require a hard point mounting structure. A base ladder section and a climbing ladder section are pivotally coupled together and supported in an operative, stand-off boarding position along a curved hull surface of a pontoon boat by a pair of hook support brackets and a pair of latch retainer brackets. The support brackets are bonded to the pontoon by adhesive deposits. A lateral cross bar tubing segment of the base ladder section is supported by hanging engagement on the hook brackets. A pair of side rail tubing segments of the climbing ladder section are retained and secured against lateral shifting displacement and rotation relative to the pontoon by snap-fit engagement against resilient arm portions of the latch retainer brackets.

Abstract: A stowable ladder assembly adapted to be positioned at a ladder stowing region of a boat. There is a main ladder section having an upper ladder pivot connecting location which connects to a rear pivot location of a connecting section that has a forward pivot connection to an upper surface of a platform. In the operating position, the upper pivot connection of the ladder is at an upper location and the ladder extends downwardly into the water. Then in the stowed position, the ladder is positioned on the upper stowage surface and the connecting section has been rotated upwardly and forwardly to the stowed position.

Abstract: An automatic fastener feeder is disclosed utilizing a rotating drum in combination with a pivoting track arrangement. Racheting apparatus is utilized to rotate the drum at intervals of time, which is initiated by an operator-generated demand for a single fastener. Gravity is utilized to drop individual fasteners onto and into the track arrangement. Up-and-down movement of the track arrangement provides for the axial movement of individual fasteners along the length of the track and into an escapement mechanism attached to the end thereof.
