Necessity is the mother of all invention. I think I'll make one for my dad.

How do u pit the propeller on the shaft??

[kiddy1992]

nice project. and also i'm surprised of your camera quality.

[ihelk]

i found that weed eaters with a clutch work best because the one i had without a clutch dies when the prop it in the water

[eriksmith69879]

no it will work you dont have to have a clutch as long as you have a small prop like that it wont put it in enough of a bind to kill it

[ihelk]

@eriksmith69879 i have a 7 inch prop the hub is an in and each blade(my prop has 2 blades) is 3 inches. its small but it dies. got a weed eater with a clutch and it works fine with the same prop

[likeanalliecat]

try it in water, its not going to work. you need a weed wacker with a clutch.

Have you used it on a boat yet? how did it go?
