ABSTRACT:
The canoe and boat seat incliner apparatus is designed to provide a paddler with an apparatus that will provide the ability to shift from a sitting position in a canoe or boat to a kneeling position in the canoe without shifting balance in the water craft and while maintaining a firm, solid and comfortable position on the seat in either position. The apparatus is comprised of a pivoting incliner unit that is attached to the hull section of the canoe or gunwale of a boat. The attachment unit provides a stable solid connection to the hull of the canoe or the boat. The incliner unit is also connected to the seat in the canoe or boat in such a manner as to allow the seat to pivot as the incliner unit does, which allows the paddler to move from the seated position to the kneeling position without losing his or her balance while making the transition. The incliner unit is able to pivot through the use of a pivot assembly comprised of a nut and bolt that is inserted through apertures in the incliner unit and into apertures in the canoe seat. The combination of the shape of the incliner unit and the pivot assembly provides the unique transition capability for the paddler.
