A thruster system for improved steering and maneuverability of a marine vessel when operating at relatively low, or wakeless speeds, such as in the vicinity of docks, swimmers or other obstacles, or when trailering, beaching or mooring. The thruster system has a modularized design adapted to independently control separate motor/propeller units located at various positions on the vessel's hull. Each propeller of the modular thruster motor system has its own relatively small, electric motor and mounting bracket, permitting each motor to be separately mounted to a location on the hull of the marine vessel apart from other thruster motors. The thruster system is further enhanced by an electrical control system for controlling each modular thruster motor system of the thruster system. In some embodiments, a charging system is provided that permits each electrical control system to be separately charged from the marine vessel's main battery.

Thrust system for steering marine vessels

A submersible marine lighting apparatus is provided that includes voltage up-conversion and that is configured to intensify emitted light by reducing a transmission angle of the light through one or more techniques including increasing the distance between the light emitter and an optical lens. The submersible marine lighting apparatus includes a circular base, an LED array positioned in a recess in the base, an optical lens, a lens gasket, and a retaining ring. The lens gasket cooperating with the circular base, optical lens and retaining ring to form a waterproof seal between the circular base and the retaining ring. When attached to a watercraft, the interior of the lighting apparatus is sealed from water.
