- This is the new PedalProp design. It features a new frame design, customer adjustable for different watercraft, greater portability, new tiller for rudder control and an adjustable depth propeller.
Thanks for a close up view.
Keep up the good work. It‘s rate these days that a business stays authentic but in your case I can clearly see a man who‘s fulfilling his dream of creating and producing props.
Greetings from Switzerland👋🏻
Thank you Jason. I will soon post the details on the 2021 PedalProp.
Could you open source the design? What was the right-angle gearbox you used? (It looks familiar, perhaps from an angle grinder?)
My patent is still good for several years so I may see about bringing it back in a slightly different form in a few years, so no open sourcing. The gearbox I used is an industrial gearbox that retails for over three hundred dollars, not some retro application.
Reasonably priced and well done .....I'm a retired composite boat builder and now have an aluminium canoe which I'm making into an outrigger ( proa ) canoe for snorkeling purpose . I'm saving up for one of your units . The unit rudder position seams to interferes with the prop spiral , on some sailboats the prop is moved over so the prop spiral trust is not affected . I suspect you know about this scenario but mounted the prop in such a way as to improve steering performance while losing some efficiency at the prop trust . Thanks for all your effort on improving small boat ergonomics .
Thank you Normand, Unfortunately I am no longer making PedalProps. The economy and a move to Florida put an end to home production. You are correct about the placement of the rudder, The two main reasons for it's location was simplicity of mounting and the excellent directional control it provided at this location.
@@pedalprop4300 Florida you lucky guy ...maybe I'll see you there ....my wife and I go to Florida every second year , meanwhile how do I keep in touch with you . I'm determined to have such a unit . maybe down the road I'll acquire one . Thanks for your time and have I nice life .

Bet one could outfit this on a bateau
if i could afford it, id buy 3 lol
How heavy is this unit?
I would love one of these! The website is no longer in service. Are you still making these at all.
Hi Phil, unfortunately I am no longer producing the PedalProp. Thanks for your interest.
Awesome idea. i have an inflatable, single seat, pontoon boat, with steel frame & 2 oars for paddling. Can this pedal prop power unit be used for my type of setup???
Thanks Rodney. It depends on the frame, if you tell me your make and model, I could check and see if it would work on your setup. I am planning to arrange the PedalProp for a catamaran style watercraft this spring and summer. Check in at pedalprop.com to see when this becomes available.
@@pedalprop4300 Okie dokie. . . . . Thankya sir. i will do that. And you are welcome. Lemme getchya the information. . . . . .hold on. . . . . . ! Okay , its from the "Creek Company LTD ODC SPORT", & the H.I.N.# is. . . . "XQFO1244J203"
@@truckerray7533 It looks it would be best to just attach the pontoons to the PedalProp frame. I think the only items needed for the PP would be a front and rear cross bar extension to attach the pontoons to. It does not seem the pontoon frame would be of any benefit.
@@pedalprop4300 So how much for your pedal prop set up??? perhaps i could figure somthing out, im sure.
@@truckerray7533 The price for spring 2021 starts at $1,226.

I checked out the store and it’s out of stock. When will it be available?
The 2021 PedalProp should be available by mid March 2021. Please check the website pedalprop.com for updates.
@@pedalprop4300 Thank you. I used to live in your neck of the woods on Rice Rd. I’m near Tampa now.
@@Reubenhubert If you come back to the area, give me a call and we can check out some lakes.
I need for a aluminum boat
The material the boat is made of does not mater. In general, the width can be up to 44" wide and max length for solo boats is about 13' and tandem boats can be longer.
How much

Ok very interesting. Have any body bought a set and install and review this on UA-cam yet? Want to see more detail use and install.
@@kambo209 Mine are the only UA-cam videos so far. I will be posting more videos on my website, pedalprop.com, and also UA-cam as time goes on. These will include theory of operation, explanation of cost, and specific application techniques. You can see some of those topics on my other UA-cam videos and on my Videos Page @ www.pedalprop.com/videos You can subscribe to this channel to keep up with my up coming videos. Thanks
The only thing that concerns me is the exposed chain. Otherwise, this is an absolutely brilliant design!
