      Now I’ve seen it all.
      Not sure what it has for a transom mount….
      or perhaps just hold it over your shoulder
      and use it as an air boat motor!!!

        Kits for converting your string trimmer are available on Ebay. 😉 (at least they used to be)

            Oh yea, and dont forget to make a mixed drink with that on the way to the water, either. 😀

              Mumbles, after watching the interesting video,
              I want one of those…… if I can be 20 years
              old again!
              As for the "Whiz", perhaps a new "racing" category
              for AOMCI events, but don’t think I’d want
              to listen to that think buzzing on the lake,
              12" from my left ear!

                My Weed Wacker is electric, uses a Lithium ion 18 volt battery. Very high RPM. (It got poor reviews, but was really cheap) It chews up the line in 2 or 3 minutes, then it takes abut 5 minutes to take it apart to extend the line to cut some more. An outboard conversion would really be welcome. . . 🙄

                  quote Buccaneer:

                  Mumbles,
                  I want one of those…… i!

                  How many you want? I have some Homelites, A Weed Whacker and a big Stihl all serviced up and ready to go this spring!

                    When these string trimmers first came out years ago I made one with a home made prop. I called it the Power Paddle. It needed a clamp-on rest to lean it on as even 1 hp is hard to hang on to, even for an hour. It got loose in the canoe once..the wife was not happy 😡

                    I will say one gets respect even for low hp outputs.
