degree project research help
 

I'm currently studying my final year at Bournemouth University in Design Engineering. As part of my project I am required to design a product from start to finish. As I worked for a full year at Sunseeker, and am still there part time, I chose a marine-related project.

The product I will design will be an inflatable cushion (e.g. pontoons) that can be carried onboard, quickly fitted and will lift the stern end of a motorboat to a point where work can be carried out on the propellers and prop shafts. This would be for use both at sea or in dock.

As part of my research I need to look at the market, and as such I have created an online questionnaire to find out some answers to help me through the conceptual process. I would be very much abliged if there were any boat owners that would take just a couple of minutes to fill in the questionnaire, which is at the following link:

Any help would be very much appreciated as this is an important part of my project.

Thanks in advance.
