An adjustable seat assembly may have a seat back that is configurable in a fore position or a stern-facing seat, an aft position for a bow-facing seat, and a pillow position which facilitates a user laying down across the stern-facing seat. In addition, the seat back may be placed in a stowed position in which the seat back is absent from both the bow-facing and stern-facing seats, such that the seats cooperate to provide a planar support surface along an aft-to-fore extent of the seat assembly. The seat back may be adjustable by hand without tools, such that a user may easily reconfigure the seat assembly to sit facing the bow, to sit facing the stern, or to lie down.

A bin level detector and filling switch operates in response to a pulverulent, fluent material spilling over the top of a vertically mounted tube open at both ends. The upper and lower ends of the tube correspond respectfully to the points at which the bin is to stop and start being filled. As the material fills the tube it depresses a movable plate holding a first magnet. A second magnet is oriented with respect to the first magnet with like poles opposite and is mounted outside of the vertical tube and positioned so that movement of the one magnet results in a reciprocal movement of the other magnet. The movement of the second magnet is utilized to operate a control device in response to the level of pulverulent fluent material in the bin. The control device may be an electrical switch that effects or operates the filling mechanism of the bin, an alarm device or some other satellite function.
