A module for retrofitting a vessel for collecting floating biomass has a telescopic beam that spans the width of the vessel and connects to the aft ends of booms resting on the gunwale. The telescopic beam extends beyond both gunwales, allowing external net supports to be attached to it. The nets are secured and held open by net forks. The nets are at least partially submerged and fill with sargassum as the vessel moves forward. Longitudinal drag forces are resisted by chains connecting the booms to the bow. Torsion around the telescopic beam is resisted by prestressed straps that pass under the vessel and over the aft ends of the booms, extending forward to minimize strap tension and reaction force against the gunwale.The horizontal moments in the outer portions of the telescopic beam are absorbed by the inner portion of the telescopic beam.

According to the invention, efficient and convenient fixation and release between the bridge and the ship body can be realized.

A control system for an outboard engine of a powerboat, in which the position of a handlebar (19) is converted into yaw of the engine (11) about a vertical axis via a tube arrangement (1–5), a rotary joint (4), and a support‑and‑bearing assembly (30) fixed to a boat reference structure (31) (transom, gunwales, hull bottom or seat—individually or in combination). A handlebar twist grip (13) actuates the throttle via cables (14). In variant A (tiller engine) throttle actuation is provided in two alternatives: (I) the cables (14) cooperate with a tiller twist grip (15), from which cables (24) run to a throttle lever (23), or (II) after minor modifications the cables (14) are routed directly to the lever (23), bypassing the tiller twist grip (15), analogously to variant B (no tiller). A dual push‑pull cable arrangement is preferred; a single cable with a resilient return is admissible. The assembly (30) provides a stiff rotation axis and a horizontal pass‑through for the third tube (5), facilitating adaptation to various boat types.
