A watercraft positional information managing system in which GPS-based positional information is prevented from being falsified includes a server and a watercraft. The watercraft includes a propulsion device and a communicator to communicate with the server. The communicator includes a position detector to detect positional information of the watercraft. The propulsion device includes an engine and a controller configured or programmed to control the engine. The controller is connected to the communicator and outputs data related to the engine to the communicator. The communicator transmits the data related to the engine and the positional information of the watercraft to the server. The server receives the data related to the engine and the positional information of the watercraft and determines whether or not the positional information of the watercraft is genuine based on the data related to the engine.
A leaning vehicle including a body frame that has a head pipe and a frame member extending rearward from the head pipe, a suspension plate attached to the frame member, and a drive source attached to the suspension plate. The suspension plate includes a first plate and a second plate stacked together in a left-right direction of the leaning vehicle. A dimension of the first plate in a the left-right direction is smaller than a dimension thereof in a front-rear direction of the leaning vehicle and a dimension thereof in an up-down direction of the leaning vehicle. A dimension of the second plate in the left-right direction is smaller than a dimension thereof in the front-rear direction and a dimension thereof in the up-down direction. The first plate and the second plate are in slidable contact with each other.

OVERBOARD DETECTION SYSTEM, AND WATERCRAFT INCLUDING THE OVERBOARD DETECTION SYSTEM
An overboard detection system includes a fob to be carried by a user on a watercraft, an overboard sensor to detect a user overboard event when the user carrying the fob falls overboard, and a communicator on the watercraft to wirelessly communicate with the fob and to transmit a rescue intention notification indicating a rescue intention to the fob carried by the user involved in the overboard event. The fob includes a transmitter operable to provide the rescue intention notification to the overboard user upon reception of the rescue intention notification.
