how do you make the thing so it fits in the peddle slot? does it ruin the peddle?

I fit a minn kota motor in place of the pedal drive. It pushes my
tandem outfitter at 4.2 mph. I love it cuz im lazy

That guy used pedal drive cassette to secure the motor
My friend did this and it seems like it's doing its job. However it's a chore to lug around that heavy battery.

Last year I was at DP and saw an asian dude with a hobie and a 4-stroke weed wacker motor connected to a drive plug that snapped in drive hole.

He simply pulled the cord and off he went. I recall the prop blade only being about 4 inches.

Only draw back I saw... noise and the smell of exhaust.

great idea at the end of day when you are two miles from home and exhausted.
