A device is temporarily attached to one side of the stern of a boat in order to modify the wake pattern of the boat by effectively making one side of the boat longer than the other side. The delayed wave on the opposite side of the boat from the wake shaping device allows the wave to crest over the natural wave on the side where the device is installed. In one example, the device has a frame with a side surface angled outwardly 12 degrees from the side of the boat, a mounting surface with a platform index notch configured to be positioned over a portion of a boat platform. A wedge shape utilizes water pressure to distribute the load evenly across the fastening side of the device, thereby allowing for a tight fit to the back of the boat.

A rowing device conversion kit for a stand up paddleboard (SUP) includes a frame assembly with seat tracks; a seat assembly with a rolling seat; and a rigger assembly. The frame assembly is attached to the SUP with four attachment clamps that each engage a portion of a rail of the stand up paddleboard. Universal attachment clamps are metal coated in non-slip plastic or rubber, so that the clamps conform to the profile of the rails. The clamps are strapped to the frame assembly by wrapping straps around the frame; tightening the straps; and buckling the straps. A locking mechanism keeps the seat in place as the user is climbing on or off the SUP. The rowing mechanism folds up into a bag the size of a golf club bag. The rigger detaches from the framework and breaks down into two pieces.

A device is temporarily attached to one side of the stern of a boat in order to modify the wake pattern of the boat by effectively making one side of the boat longer than the other side. The delayed wave on the opposite side of the boat from the wake shaping device allows the wave to crest over the natural wave on the side where the device is installed. In one example, the device has a frame with a side surface angled outwardly 12 degrees from the side of the boat, a mounting surface shaped to match the mounting area of the boat stern, and one or more vacuum cups. A wedge shape utilizes water pressure to distribute the load evenly across the fastening side of the device, thereby allowing for a tight fit to the back of the boat.

Apparatus for the simultaneous and uniform sampling of grain and recording of temperature from various predetermined locations within a grain storage facility. The apparatus consists of a drive section made of high strength material, such as steel, to which is attached a downwardly spiraling flight which enables the device to be driven into or out of stored grain. Attached above the drive section are sampling sections of equal length made of a light strong material, such as aluminum. Each of the sample sections has a sampling gate, which when opened receives samples of grain from each of the predetermined locations within the grain storage facility. Additionally, the device incorporates a thermometer within each of these sampling sections which is attached and secured in position by an alignment bar which additionally serves to positively join each of the sections to the other. Below the drive section is attached a shorter sampling section which comprises the tip of the probe. This tip section also has a sample gate and a thermometer, thereby providing the ability to obtain a sample and a temperature reading from very close to the floor of the storage unit. Further, the sampling tip section has a rounded point to help prevent damage to the floor of the storage unit. Sample gates are opened by first removing the drive adapter from the top sampling section, thereby exposing the top of an alignment bar which is square in shape. The gate-actuating tool is placed over the top of the alignment bar and, when rotated a quarter turn in either direction, simultaneously opens the gates in all sections of the probe. After the sample is obtained, returning the gate-actuating tool to its original position closes the gates. As the probe is withdrawn from the grain storage facility a detent release tool is used to depress the detents on the alignment bars and thereby separate each of the sections.
