  • Straddle seat assembly
    Patent number: 11634196
    Abstract: A straddle seat assembly having a backrest and a straddle seat is disclosed. The straddle seat has a base structure that has an upper surface to which a resiliently deformable top portion is connected. The resiliently deformable top portion covers at least partially the upper surface. The backrest is selectively connected to the resiliently deformable top portion at either one of at least two positions along a length of the straddle seat such that deformation of the top portions permits movement of the backrest.

  • RAISED SEATING SYSTEM FOR A PERSONAL WATERCRAFT
    Publication number: 20220234566
    Abstract: A personal watercraft has a hull, a deck, a motor, a motor control unit operatively connected to the motor for controlling at least one parameter associated with the motor, a seat assembly including a seat portion selectively connected to the deck, and a raised seating system including a seat support selectively connected to the deck for selectively supporting the seat portion above the deck. A sensor is connected to at least one of the hull and the deck and is communicating with the motor control unit. In response to the seat support being connected to the deck, the sensor detects a presence of the seat support, and in response to the sensor detecting the presence of the seat support, the motor control unit limits at least one of the at least one parameter associated with the motor. A method for adjusting performance of a personal watercraft is also provided.
