Disclosed is a personal watercraft comprising an engine capable of achieving a high power without increasing the diameter of an output shaft where a crankshaft-side sprocket is attached, and thus without increasing the diameter of the sprocket. The engine is configured such that an extended shaft that is separable from the crankshaft and has a diameter smaller than that of the crankshaft is connected to one end portion of the crankshaft so as to be coaxial with the crankshaft, and a sprocket is provided on the extended shaft. With such a structure, by forming the extended shaft of a material having relatively high strength, the diameter of the extended shaft can be made smaller than that of the crankshaft, and hence, the diameter of the sprocket provided on the extended shaft can be reduced. Since the diameter of a camshaft-side sprocket can be reduced, the size of the entire engine can be reduced.

A small watercraft includes expanded storage capacity so as to accommodate more of the type of articles that rider's typically what to carry on the watercraft. Such articles include, for example, towels, water skis, tow ropes, etc. At least one of the storage compartments on the watercraft is formed by an opening on an upper deck section. A container is affixed to the deck below the opening and has an upper end defined by a flange that extends from walls of the container. The flange is attached to an interior wall of the upper deck section so that the container and the corresponding upper deck section form a storage compartment. The upper end of the container, however, has a larger area than the opening in the deck so as to maximize the storage space within the compartment without weakening the deck and minimizing the area through which water can enter the hull.

A kit for converting a conventional surfboard into a motorized one, to assist a surfer in paddling away from shore, includes a small motor attachable to the surfboard and a control remote. The electric motor is built directly into a rudder or fin, attachable to the surfboard without any structural modification to the board. The remote control is wireless and worn on the surfer's hand or wrist. With a motorized surfboard propelling the surfer forward at a low rate of speed, it is unnecessary for the surfer to exert considerable energy paddling out to catch another wave.

A watercraft is disclosed that includes a hull having port and starboard sides and a propulsion system that generates a stream of pressurized water through a nozzle. A helm operatively connects to the nozzle, whereby turning the helm turns the nozzle. At least one rudder connects to either or both of the port or starboard sides. The rudder is capable of pivoting inwardly and outwardly and can also be moved upwardly and downwardly with respect to the side to which it is connected. The rudder is located a certain distance from the respective side of the hull, which allows the rudder to utilize its inner and outer surfaces to assist in steering the watercraft by deflecting water flowing thereacross. Also, a linking element can connect the nozzle to the rudder. An off-power steering system is also disclosed.

A personal watercraft having one or more decorated, and preferably painted, multifunction components, such as the grab handle, shroud, splashguard, hood, rub rails, sponsons, and/or mirror portions of a personal watercraft. The components are fabricated from engineering plastics in a manner suitable to provide an optimal combination of both structural characteristics and the ability to be painted, in a manner sufficient to permit these materials to provide one or more multifunction components within a watercraft. A plurality of different multifunctional components can be fabricated, for use in different portions of the watercraft, thereby permitting some or all of those components to be decorated or painted in a matching or complementary manner.

A personal watercraft wherein air is introduced into a body through a gap formed between the body and a front hood and prohibiting permeation of sea water or other water in the body through the gap. A personal watercraft is basically configured such that a handlebar is disposed on the center line in the width direction of a body, a front hood for covering an upper front portion of the body is disposed in front of the handlebar, and left and right side covers are disposed at left and right lower edges of the front hood, respectively, wherein air is introduced into an in-body space through left and right gaps S between the side covers and the front hood. This personal watercraft includes left and right labyrinth structures for allowing an introduction of air into the in-body space and prohibiting permeation of water in the in-body space are provided in the gaps S between the front hood and the side covers, respectively.

A hull-less personal water craft is provided which reduces air, water, noise, and wake pollution over personal water craft presently on the market. The craft includes a strut assembly having forward and rearward ends, with an operator platform attached at the rearward end, and having at least one hydrofoil positioned below the operator platform. A propulsion system is provided, as is a control column which provides the operator interface when the craft operator is kneeling, standing or sitting on the operator platform. The hydrofoil provides substantially all of the lift for the craft when in operation, and the elimination of a hull greatly reduces the power requirements and wake generated by the craft in operation.

A watercraft has an improved bow hatch design. The bow hatch is disposed above a bow storage compartment and can be secured in a closed position. A locking mechanism is provided to maintain the bow hatch in a closed position. The locking mechanism comprises a separated actuator and locking member. Thus, the actuator can be disposed in a location convenient to the operator while the locking member can be mounted in an aesthetically acceptable location. The locking member is mounted rearward of the storage bin and the actuator is located to one side of the steering mast. In addition, a cable extends between the actuator and the locking member. Body panels of the watercraft substantially enclose the cable.
