Electric start is awesome! my instant assumption was that prop might be too big to keep the revs sitting pretty, but obviously that depends on the engine's output, was it a problem with this one? i noticed you made that smaller prop for your other unit, great job btw!
Hey I got same engine how do you get it to start like that? My pullstarter has the teeth worn out so makes it a real battle trying to get it going. Cheers
This is awesome! Anyone who has a problem with you being innovative can fuck off! You didn't go out to design a new engine with great emissions and a silent exhaust note to power a completely new boat design from the ground up so idk what they are bitching about. I'm also sure if you told the makers of this weed whacker what you've done here they would probably say you voided the warranty then go on to tell you that nobody has told them they've don't that before and how creative you are for try
My country invests heavily in sustainable resources, there are four nearby plants heólocas, my car runs on ethanol and my kayak is moved by oars and sail, buy my food at a local organic farmer, has doubts about search for Porto Alegre, Brazil. ..
Still thinking differently thanks for sharing your video!
@fkrauze So I assume your computer is powered 100% by wind or solar, don't own a car that leaves a nasty carbon footprint and grown your own food without without using any ecologically harming pesticides. If thats the case then I applaud you for your efforts. Otherwise, thanks for being curious enough to watch and enjoy a life of hypocrisy.
@n56db I believe fkrauze's point was the to point out the irony of using a motor on kayak, specifically and not to criticize the use of internal combustion engines, in general. For most people who paddle, a part of the experience is the intimate connection to nature provided by the paddles, the quiet serenity of the environment, or the exercise, etc; to put a motor on a kayak defeats the purpose of a kayak... but, I personally am all for experimentation/DYI/modification and think this is cool.
@n56db What if I grow all my own food without using anything toxic drive a car with a small carbon footprint and am off the grid so you could say my pc runs off wind and solar but still found this pretty cool?
Believe it or don't--there was a commercial outboard based on a very loud McCullough curved-shaft whacker. I saw it in either a Monkey Wards or a Sears in Parkersburg WV in the early 1990s. It was not store-branded. I recognized the powerhead because I owned the same model, only mine was just a weed whacker. Best regards.
I'd always imagined the possibility of a commercial product, but I didn't think they actually made them. Being a 1990s model it was probably an Echo-designed engine.
The name of this video is a misconception. There was no kayak in this video at all. I wanted to see this thing in action. Thanks for the waste of time.
you should probably get one of those gas powered drills, and use the transmission to step down the 10000+ rpm of the engine down to something that would work better for the propeller.
@obscureluzername If your so easily offended by innovation and stepping outside the box; it's probably best you stay off the Internet and go back to whatever dull, boring and unimaginative existence you previously enjoyed.
@n56db Shouldn't the term "innovation" be reserved for things of use? Why would you even buy a kayak if you just want a motorboat? Kayaks are supposed to be about intimate coexistence with your natural surroundings not raping the auditory senses of every living creature within a 2km radius.
What's your next project? a bicycle with a Hayabusa engine?
@obscureluzername Okay so any watercraft with an engine is of no use? I wasn't aware that kayaks were strictly intended for government regulated intimacy. Truly my bad; however will I live with myself??? I'll be sure to pass on your stellar advice to all owners of internally combusted powered watercraft to stay a firm 2km from any water source.
Admittedly a 1300cc powered bicycle is surprisingly novel... considering the source. It is however a bit impracticable. Now a Hayabusa powered go-cart on the hand? Wait, thats already been done!
@n56db I wouldnt worry about him...i think its awesome you got creative and experimented.
@obscureluzername Why do you have to be such a simple minded crybaby...the dudes just having a good time....you dont like it...ok. However heres a novel concept...instead of sitting on your computer hating on other people creative ideas....why dont you step outside for once and get a life of your own....or go back and surf porn....or wait....you probably criticize that too
Whats your ordeal? I know being a life long virgin is tough buy maybe you should realize just because you can type your opinion doesnt mean anyone gives 2 shits about it. If you doing like what hes done seriously piss off.
@obscureluzername I hope you know motorcycles weren't originally created for gas mileage, they were created as a toy, originally created from a bicycle frame, with a small motor.
So your statement about the bicycle with a Hayabusa engine, was a complete failure.
@romafern2010 Lol well thanks for offering some objective criticism, seems these other Nancys can't take having their fragile feelings hurt (pouty face).
@obscureluzername When you can produce a valid argument of any substance, I might consider having hurt feelings. The idea of calling something a piece of shit is hardly objective criticism, but simply mindless chatter. However its nice to know that you are not alone in this world; romafern2010 is also seems to be lacking imagination just like you and should direct all comments to the manufacturer.
@n56db Why? Did the manufacturer advocate using its weed whacker as an outboard? Probably even they would call you an idiot. Here's a valid argument: if you brought that noisy piece of shit near me while I was out kayaking I'd put one of my blades through your face for destroying the tranquility. Go get a real boat and motor numbnuts.
@obscureluzername No they did not advocate using it as an outboard. I would assume that even someone with a diminished mental capacity like you could figure that out. They did however design the exhaust to meet a specific noise level; except ofcourse for tree hugging saviors of tranquility. The bottom line is your a douche and as much fun as it was to get you fired up on being a noise concious pussy; your simply just not very interesting anymore.
i made my own prop from a nail plate a trollin motor prop or brass blade anything with a fat ring on it will cavitate to much the nail plate works great just try bendin and grindin tell you get one that moves you out
@1995lundy he said in the discription that he replaced the cable with square stock....I need a curved drive so I plan to try cutting ,welding and forging the square end, but first I plan to look into buying a shorter cable like used in some of the attachments.
Nothing like a nice peaceful morning ride across the lake in my kayak....... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hi.. I use same type Riobi without gearbox... P series with a bent shaft and cable driven.. If you goto your Radio controlled boat people on E-bay and buy a small 2 bladed alloy or bronze prop. Tell them what you want it for and they will be able to guide you a little... The gearbox wont be a problem but the clutch will.. It will get very hot and start to smoke... the housing on mine melted from the heat. Convert it direct drive.. It can then run slower
he prob bought just a plain pull start motor and took of the pull cord out and hooked the electric motor to spin it so the motor turns over and starts like a car
the Ryobi is fitted with e-start from factory, the flex shaft is removed in favor of square stock, and yes the prop came from a boat store but performed terribly, because it was too large in diameter for low torque of a weedeater engine. The machined prop used in my other 2 vid's work way better.
fucking sweet, im making an RC boat out of a 25cc weedwhacker motor, thanks for some inspiration..... harbor frieght????
