Two years later this motor is going strong kzitem.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

You know this is why I really watch your channel because you didn't think about the rotation of the weed eater versus the propeller and reality is you would like that thing to go back on the other way so it push like a traditional boat motor but it works so

Tried this with trolling motor propeller about 15 years ago. Didn't work. It would die every time you stuck it in the water. I trimmed the propeller off till I could get it to run in the water without going dead. After that it would barely move the boat.

A trolling motor prop has too much pitch. It's designed for more torque at a lower RPM, so it's quiet in the water. The angle drive on a weed eater is 1:1, and those small displacement 2 cycle engines don't have a lot of torque. He did the right thing, making a very shallow pitched blade, so it could turn fast enough to keep from slipping the centrifugal clutch. He just needed to pitch it to the right direction.

Flip the prop around so it will be pushing rather than pulling, if you try and attach it to a boat as it is now, it will reverse. You could also try increasing the pitch of the prop in order to transfer more power into the water.
@vincentrobinette1507

The prop pitch needs to remain shallow, because the angle drive is 1:1, so the prop needs to allow high RPM, to avoid slipping the centrifugal clutch. Those engines don't have much torque.

It will start just fine: the centrifugal clutch won't load the engine, until the RPM is up. A stop ring can be used to adjust the transom depth of the propeller, it's just that the head will be up there a bit: he just needs to stand up, to pull the starting cord. He'll have to clamp a tiller handle on at a usable height.

I did this in the early 90s with an green weed eater and a 2 bladed replacement trolling motor prop. It made a lot of wind out of the water but in the water it had bad cavitation issues and then it just bog down and stop. I fixed it by trimming the blade length down little by little until it worked pretty well. The blade length was just under an inch when everything was said and done but it would push my canoe up the river with decent amount of speed
