Abstract
The boat cleats of the invention are typically mounted on the watercraft and docks adjacent to the water for tying watercraft to piers as well as to other watercraft and disclose a solar powered modular structure supported within a boat cleat mechanical housing support structure. This arrangement provides savings associated with the provision of through-the-dock wiring access, easy removability for replacement, maintenance and servicing, and which is sealed against the environment. The self contained solar powered modular structure may have communications capabilities to enable distributed control and sensing.
Claims13
A solar powered illuminated boat cleat further comprising:
- a boat cleat mechanical housing support attachable to a support structure, the boat cleat mechanical housing support having a center area;
- a solar powered modular structure which can be selectively attachably contained within the center area independent of attachability of the boat cleat mechanical housing support attachability to a support structure.
