    Abstract: A method for determining a displacement of an anchor is provided. The method includes the steps of: determining an initial position of the anchor; and determining a displacement of the anchor. The step of determining the displacement of the anchor includes (i) measuring anchor velocity values, (ii) measuring at least one further physical quantity associated with the anchoring, (iii) deciding whether the anchor is at rest or in motion, wherein a value of the further physical quantity is taken into account in the decision, and (iv) integrating the velocity values over time during intervals when the anchor is deemed to be in motion.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are for monitoring an operational characteristic of a pump pumping cooling water from upstream to downstream to cool a marine engine. A sensor senses a characteristic of the cooling water at a location that is downstream of the pump. A control circuit is in communication with the sensor and receives the sensed characteristic of the cooling water, compares the sensed characteristic of the cooling water to a stored nominal value, and determines a present operational condition of the pump based on the comparison.

    Abstract: A mechanical warning flag system for a water ski boat. A first plate is coupled for rotation underneath the rope pylon. A second plate is coupled to the first plate and includes a vertical portion with an arcuate opening. A lever plate is pivotally coupled to the vertical portion of the second plate and includes a lever arm that receives one end of a bias spring and travels in the arcuate opening. The lever plate includes a pair of rope holders through which the tow rope is threaded. One rope holder is part of the pivotal connection, and the other is located on a distal portion of the lever plate. Since the lever arm is located between the rope holders, tension applied to the tow rope forces the lever plate downward thereby lowering the warning flag. In the absence of rope tension, a bias spring urges the lever plate upward to raise the warning flag.

    Abstract: The Wearable Satellite Tracker (WST) is a worn by the operator and carries a two-way satellite transceiver that communicates to a Central Tracking Monitor a message with; a unique serial number of the device, position information (via GPS receiver), and the status of the WST. Optionally, the WST will have a satellite telephone interface to place a null911null or emergency call to the Central Tracking Monitor. The WST can be used anywhere in the world and requires no other local equipment. An embodiment of the WST is a Personal Flotation Device or Life Vest with the WST embedded in it. The Life Vest owner can trigger the Life Vest with a panic button at will or, upon being immersed in water, the WST will self-trigger. In the Alarm-state, the WST send frequent alarm messages to the Central Tracking Monitoring, a LED Status Indicator will show the operator of the WST its progress in sending a message to the Central Monitoring Center. These are acknowledged messages and the WST wearer knows they have been received. Both status checks and alarms messages will be sent to a Central Tracking Monitor. The Central Monitoring Center will then mate the unique ID of the WST and with its database information, and begin notifying the appropriate authorities in the event of an alarm message. Most importantly with the WST, there is no new equipment or personal needs to be added to the vessel or operation unit to monitor the WST. The WST is self-contained and includes a visual check for operator to confirm the operational status of the battery, GPS, satellite transceiver and communication to the Central Tracking Monitor. Test messages can be initiated by the wearer of the WST to ensure the complete system is working before the beginning a shift, or during, a work shift.
