Shallow water outboards
Went canoeing at Wacissa River again today. Over the past few yrs, I
have noticed some odd motors obviously intended for very shallow weed infested waters. These motors resemble a lawnmotor engine with a very long shaft, maybe 6' on which there is a prop at the very end. They go very well in the mats of vegetation covering the water whereas a conventional outboard immediately bogs down and gets stuff in the water intake. I am wondering if these odd outboards will mean fewer airboats because both are intended to be used in nearly zero water. |

It's called a surface piercing drive or propeller. As Scotty says, pretty
popular in Asia. I've only seen one in the states, a few years ago. --Mike "Frogwatch" wrote in message ... Went canoeing at Wacissa River again today.

I think they fill a specialized niche where the hydrilla is so thick a normal motor cannot operate. I would imagine that a small normal outboard operates well in most lily pad cover. You would imagine wrong;) Traditional outboards are not designed to cut through (slash and smash) obsticals. Smaller ponds and thus smaller outboards present obvious issues in the lilly pads, but larger boats and outboards get the stems and leaves wrapped around the leg prop and shaft, and starve the water pump for water too. They are not well suited for the pads or algae in most cases. These mud motors are mostly air cooled and designed to cut through weeds and other obsticals too... -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - We race for cheese! |

I am wondering if these odd outboards will mean fewer airboats because both are intended to be used in nearly zero water. I see them all the the time on craigs list, they use them in the swampy areas of southeast Missouri, there big with duck hunters and there called mud motors, big twin briggs and Stratton mostly I understand they are noisy, and they do huge damage to whatever they happen to churn over. Like I said I hope they don't catch on up here, it would be deviating to the lilly pads and other fresh water surface flowers which usually are avoided by those with conventional outboards. -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - We race for cheese! Go Devils, mud motors They have there purpose in some of the swampy areas for access for duck hunters, they do much less damage than say a 6 wheeler ATV but I doubt anybody but the local idiots would want one up north, got many local idiots up yonder? Game warden would kick your arse good here in S IL if you got caught jacking around with one on our little lakes....we have the sweetist lilly pads and cutest aquatic weeds, and the biggest bass...and blue gill, crappie...etc.etc..etc I probably have the biggest Johnson in my county....my 6yr old grandson took first place for biggest fish in his first fishing tourny saturday....Oh there I go bragging again...damit....lol You're in soluthern Illinois? so am I.

I can't find any specs for it on the ID plate, and I've looked the 'net for it and have come up with nothering. It is an inboard metal unit. mounted off center ad on the port side.
