Various implementations include a seat assembly having one or more track brackets, one or more slide brackets, and a seat bottom. A track face of each of the track brackets defines one or more tracks. A first end of each of the tracks is closer than a second end of the respective track to a fore edge and a bottom edge of the track bracket. The slide brackets include one or more pins slidably engaging one of the tracks. The slide brackets are slidable between a first slide position and a second slide position. At least one of the pins is located adjacent the first end of the track in the first slide position and one of the pins is located adjacent the second end of the track in the second slide position. The seat bottom is coupled to the slide brackets.

Rear flip seat with table

A seat assembly includes: a backrest having a cushion surface formed on a first side of the backrest and support surface formed on a second side of the backrest; a first track assembly located along a first side of the backrest and a second track assembly located along a second side of the backrest; and a plurality of guide pins extending from the backrest into the first track assembly and the second track assembly such that the backrest is movable along the first track assembly and the second track assembly on the plurality of guide pins between a stowed position and a deployed position.

A hinge assembly includes: a body; a first arm pivotally mounted on the body and movable between a first position and a second position, the first arm including a plurality of teeth formed thereon; a pawl mounted on the body proximate to a portion of the first arm, the pawl shaped to releasably engage the plurality of teeth of the first arm. In a collapsed position of the hinge assembly the pawl is disengaged from the plurality of teeth of the first arm such that the first arm is pivotable relative to the pawl. In a deployed position the pawl engages the plurality of teeth of the first arm to releasably secure the first arm in the second position.

Bimini top hinge

A folding bimini top frame includes: first frame associated with a second frame portion with a first latching hinge, the first latching hinge movable between a folded position and a deployed and locked position, the first latching hinge including a release lever for releasing the first frame from the deployed and locked position; a second latching hinge located between the second frame member and a base of the folding bimini top frame, the second latching hinge pivotable between a folded position and a deployed and locked position, the second latching hinge including a releasable latch for securing the second latching hinge in the deployed position; and a latch release mechanism in communication with the first latching hinge and the releasable latch of the second latching hinge, wherein the releasable latch of the second latching hinge is released by the latch release mechanism when the first frame portion is released from the deployed and locked position.

A wake tower assembly for use with a watercraft, including an arch portion extending across a width of the watercraft, first and second pivoting structures coupled to first and second ends of the arch portion, the first and second pivoting structures configured to attach to port and starboard portions of the watercraft to facilitate rotational movement of the arch portion between a lowered position and an upright position, and a first locking mechanism provided to the first pivoting structure including a biased pin member configured to engage an opening of the first end such that when the arch portion is rotated from the lowered position to the upright position, a biasing force of the biased pin member causes the biased pin member to engage the opening to mechanically lock the arch portion in the upright position.

An adjustable mirror bracket is provided for supporting a mirror in a rearward facing position on a watercraft. The mirror bracket includes a base member having a body having a socket formed therein and a spherical bearing within the socket and including a stud projecting therefrom. The mirror bracket also includes a pivot member having a cupped lower end shaped to conform to the hemispherical top end of the base member, a bore formed through the cupped lower end for receiving the stud of the spherical bearing, and an attachment surface formed in an upper end of the pivot member. An elongate support arm is provided and is pivotally attached with a fastener to the attachment surface of the pivot member at the first end of the support arm.

A multi-linkage hinge assembly is provided for pivoting a seat cushion between flat and upright positions. The hinge assembly includes a base bracket, a seat bracket having a support surface, a front linkage member pivotally attached between the seat bracket and base bracket, a rear linkage assembly having a lower linkage member pivotally attached to an upper linkage member, and a tie linkage connecting the front linkage member to the rear linkage assembly. The tie linkage synchronizes movement of the front linkage and rear linkage assembly when the hinge is operated to move between an upright and flat position.

Apparatus for a door for a boat's companionway hatch. The door includes a frame, a door, a drive mechanism, and a receiver. The drive mechanism moves the door between an open and closed position to selectively allow and block access to a bulkhead opening in the companionway. In the open position, the edge of the door is substantially parallel with the companionway sidewall. In the closed position the edge of the door engages the receiver and the edge is substantially parallel with the sidewall to which the receiver is attached. The drive mechanism includes a pair of struts that are driven by an actuator to move with a scissors-like motion. One end of each strut is fixed in position. The opposite end of each strut has a roller that moves within a slot, with one slot in the door and the other slot in the frame.
