    摘要: The present invention relates to a nun-chuck-like kayaking mobility tool that enables easy maneuverability and repositioning of a kayak while obviating damage to a blade of a paddle or oar. The kayaking mobility tool includes a nun-chuck-like appearance, and includes a pair of shafts connected through a connecting cord. The shafts can be used for pushing off rocks, obstructions, the riverbed and other impediments in the kayaking path. The shafts and associated handles enable the kayaker to place the shafts on an underwater obstruction for turning the kayak in a desired direction while sitting in the kayak. The handles can include grips for comfortable holding of the shafts by the kayaker. The shafts can include caps at the respective bottom ends for secure gripping on the riverbed or obstruction. The mobility tool obviates the use of paddles/oars for pushing away from obstructions in order to reposition the kayak.

    摘要: A self-propelling watercraft system is provided. The watercraft has a base with a plurality of sidewalls extending from the base to form a cockpit. The base also has a recess, where a pump can detachably connect to the hull within the recess. The pump has an intake valve on a first end and a nozzle on a second end that is opposite the first end. The intake valve can intake water. The nozzle can jettison water received in the pump from the intake valve and agitate water surrounding the nozzle.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed to enable a system for controlling the propulsion and steering of a boat by a boat operator. The boat has at least one propulsion and steering motor assembly connected to the boat with a propeller, and a propulsion motor. It also has left and right pivoting pedals to provide a signal that controls the angle of the propeller so that if the left pedal is pivoted in a first pivot direction by a first percentage and the right pedal is pivoted in a second pivot direction by a second percentage, the boat executes a turn, moves forward, or moves in reverse.
