    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a marine signaling device are disclosed. A flag coupled to a top section of a telescoping shaft includes a folding arm pivotally coupled to the top section that folds upward to gather the flag into alignment with the telescoping shaft. A housing couples to a boat and supports the shaft in the display configuration and receives the shaft in the storage configuration. As the shaft is retracted, the folding arm contacts an upper surface of the housing and gathers the flag into alignment with the shaft. A motor automatically extends/retracts the shaft based on detected tension on a tow rope mount of the boat or a tow rope coupled to the boat. A tension switch detects tension and activates the motor based on the detected tension. The tension switch may include arms that rotate in response to tension to activate a limit switch.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a spillage protection system for a storage vessel in the event a breach of the hull occurs. The system comprises sheets of lath work panels extending from longitudinal and transverse supporting members of the vessel hull for forming sub-compartments therein. The sheets of lath work panels are comprised of a plurality of apertures therein for providing characteristics of strength and porosity to the structure. The system further comprises a distribution system extending through the hull of the vessel and into each of the sub-compartments. The distribution system originates at a reservoir which supplies a foamable cast-cure plastic material to the distribution system and effectively delivers the foamable cast-cure plastic material to a sub-compartment adjacent to an area of the hull experiencing the breach. In addition, the protective system comprises a sensing system in each sub-compartment for detecting a breach in the hull, as well as a control system for delivering the foamable cast-cure plastic material to an area of the hull being compromised. Accordingly, upon a breach of the hull, a fire resistant foamable cast-cure plastic material is delivered to a sub-compartment adjacent to the breach thereby forcing the seawater out of the sub-compartment and effectively sealing the breach.

    Abstract: A plastic paddle is pivotally connected to the operating arm of a microswitch. The paddle is positioned in front of a boat's drain opening. The paddle can be swivelled to one side to allow removal of the boat's drain plug. When the plug is removed and the paddle lies in front of the drain opening, if the boat is launched without replacing the drain plug, the inrushing water will move the paddle so as to close the microswitch and actuate an alarm. Enough of the drain hole is left uncovered by the paddle to allow water to drain out of the boat.

    Abstract: An apparatus for indicating breakage of a tensioned rope, or chain or the like by firing flares or other warning signals. In the preferred embodiment, an auxiliary cable running parallel to the towing or mooring cable is used to actuate firing of a first flare and to simultaneously activate a timing mechanism. Said timing mechanism fires a series of flares in a predetermined sequence. This combination allows both an immediate indication of a hazard and quick localization and recovery of a detached boat or vehicle.
