A front storage box for use on an all-terrain vehicle. The front storage box comprises two components: an accessory box and a cargo rack. The accessory box forms a storage compartment in which cargo may be stowed. The cargo rack is integral with a lid for the accessory box and functions to both seal the accessory box and act as a rack. Thus, items may be placed in the accessory box and on the rack for hauling.

All-terrain vehicle storage box

A personal watercraft having an electrical reverse mechanism is disclosed. The electric reverse mechanism has a reverse thrust gate mechanically pivotable by an electric motor between a full-up position to permit full-forward propulsion of the watercraft and a fill-down position to enable either full-reverse propulsion or braking of the watercraft. The electric reverse mechanism may include a directional control toggle switch that outputs to the motor a forward signal when toggled to a forward position and a reverse signal when toggled to a reverse position. The motor pivots the reverse gate toward the full-up position when receiving the forward.signal and toward the full-down position when receiving the reverse signal. The electric reverse mechanism may include a display meter that displays an indication of the relative position of the reverse gate between the full-up and full-down positions. The electric reverse mechanism may include a reverse indicator that indicates when the reverse gate is not in the full-up position.

A jet-propelled personal watercraft having a grab handle for a child riding in front of the operator of the watercraft. The watercraft includes a hull defining an engine compartment sized to contain an internal combustion engine for powering the watercraft, a deck portion providing a passenger area containing controls operable by an operator in the passenger area, and a longitudinally extending seat adapted to accommodate at least two riders seated in straddle fashion. A jet propulsion unit is powered by the engine, the jet propulsion unit including a steerable water discharge nozzle. The controls include a set of handlebars operatively connected to the steerable water discharge nozzle to facilitate steering of the watercraft by the operator, the handlebars extending transversely with respect to the watercraft and having a center and a rotational axis extending through such center. A grab handle is mounted to the handlebars and extends from the handlebars in a direction toward the operator, the grab handle being generally centered on the handlebars' axis of rotation.
