My canoe-builder-friend bought a contraption which bolted through the canoe floor, with a lawn-mower engine !
On the bottom. a water jet-pump that could swivel 180* for steering, and that it !
I "helped" with adapting a simple throttle for the B&S 3?HP motor, and a "tiller" handle for the gas tank.
The motor simply bolted onto the swivel 'deck' which had a rubber-cushioned 'hub' for the crankshaft.
He was a large man, and sat on a floor-cushion, to help prevent surprise baths !!!.
That's all I remember. Anybody know what/where/info about that contraption ?
( My GrandSon has a 10' flat-hull, and I happen to have a bran-new B&S 110cc engine. )
