so i love to build things and tinker. i'm going to lead with that LOL
i have a canoe (large Mohawk) and it has a outboard motor mount... but i dont have an outboard motor. nor do i have the money to buy one. but i did have afew broken string trimmers and trolling motor. .... afew bucks for some hose, primer builb, and fuel filter and this is what you get. sadly its raining and i can't put it in the water to test yet. i can't wait tho. :D

But yeah. Torque. I'm hoping it will work on reasonably well. If not ill have to find a lawn mower lol 😄

I like the way you think, and I hope it works for you.
