Systems and processes for closing openings in marine vessel hulls are provided. The systems and processes facilitate repairs and maintenance of marine vessels by closing openings in the marine vessel hulls to permit dry access to compartments in communication with the openings. The processes and systems incorporate a cover constructed from a lightweight material such as fiberglass, a viscoelastic material such as polyethylene or polyurethane, and blends thereof. The cover is guided in place to effectuate closure of the opening by a track device that receives at least two of the peripheral edges of the cover and directs the cover to the proper position to close the hull opening. The cover may be lowered into place by use of a hoisting device such as a davit.

A marine propulsion system that utilizes a transmission shift sequence to control shifting of the propulsion system transmission between forward and reverse gears. The marine propulsion system includes a controller that executes the transmission shift sequence using engine speed and transmission fluid pressure signals to determine the timing of various steps in the shift sequence. The controller is connected to a shift actuator for the transmission and to an engine speed throttle to thereby control transmission shifting and engine speed as a part of the transmission shift sequence. By monitoring engine speed and transmission fluid pressure, and by controlling transmission shifting and engine speed settings, the transmission shift sequence can provide the operator with the ability to carry out quick shifts that will neither stall the engine nor damage the transmission clutch.

The unmanned ship arrangement and recovery system can improve the arrangement and recovery efficiency of the unmanned ship.

The invention relates to means for launching into the water, from a height H greater than a predetermined height h_max, a life-saving means (1) designed to be able to be launched into the water in free fall from this maximum height h_max. One end of a halyard (4) is fixedly hooked to the life-saving means or to the launch site (2); the halyard functionally cooperates (at 7) respectively with the launch site or the life-saving means so that the life-saving means falling by gravity is braked on and/or by the halyard over at least one part (H-h_max) of its drop height. By controlling the braking effect, the life-saving means, falling from the height H in a braked manner over at least one part (H-h_max) of this height hits the surface of the water (5) with a kinetic energy not exceeding that which it would have at the end of a non-braked free fall from at most the height h_max.

A swim platform lift mechanism is disclosed, the mechanism mounted between the transom of a boat and a bottom surface of a swim platform. The lift mechanism provides a powered lifting/lowering of the swim platform from a retracted position that is level with the deck of the boat to a deployed position in which the swim platform is below the surface of the water surrounding the boat and from the retracted position to an up-and-over position in which the swim platform and its contents are positioned above and forward of the rear edge of the deck. When in the retracted position, an adjustable stop interfaced to the swim platform abuts rest areas on lower arms of the lift mechanism, thereby providing structural support to the swim platform.
