This thing is insane! Love it!!!

The media could not be loaded. This thing is amazing! Definitely worth the money if you are deciding on getting one. I tried it for the first time with a 20v dewalt hammer drill and boy does this thing move!!! You do have to learn to navigate it when it goes full throttle.

I have a 14ft aluminum row boat and this was able to push me fast enough to beach the boat and walk straight out onto dry land, something I wasn't able to do using oars. Use caution in reverse, the pull at slow speeds can lure you into not holding on hard enough, just about yanked itself out of my hands .

The envy of all float tubers on my local ponds.

The Lithium-Ion batteries last from ½ an hour to 45 minutes at maximum power, to about 1 hour or more when cycled every 5-10 seconds (which is recommended) this keeps your drill and battery cool to prevent overheating.That line there leads you to believe the drill comes with it. It does not. Will never purchase from this buyer or any related to it.

I use this in my Cumberland float tube. The most important thing to factor into this is a good drill and batteries. I have a 20v Dewalt drill I use with the drill paddle. It came with 1.5AH batteries and you can get 15-20 mins use out of them. I bought 2 6AH batteries and with those I can use the drill paddle for hours. Just make sure not to use the drill constantly, it will ruin your drill, give the drill breaks to cool down.The Dewalt drill/2 1.5AH batteries and charger was $99. The 2 6AH batteries were $190 and the drill paddle was $50 when I bought it, so all together I’m into it $339. My justification was I can always use a nice drill/batteries for around the house.So to sum this up it’s a great buy but if you want to use the thing for more than 15-20 mins get bigger AH batteries.

It’s simple but well designed and accomplished the task of getting us back home. There’s a bit of a learning curve in figuring out direction though.

The box (original manufacturers box, not a secondary one by vendor), arrived bent and banged up and torn in places all along the box. In fact it was torn almost in half, and even had one end open. There was zero internal packing in the box. The drill paddle had just been placed inside. As a result the shaft of the drill paddle was bent on arrival. All as shown in the pictures above. I have more, but they get the main idea across.Please note the label on the box. This is a manufacturers issue, not just a shipping problem. The reason is that while the damage almost certainly occurred in shipping, the damage to the prop might have been avoided if there was any internal packing at all to give the box some support/structure. Or at least to pad the drill paddle from extreme handling.In fact since I had no other option when I sent it back, I had to tape up the box it arrived in to make it usable. I then stuffed some of the air bags from another amazon shipment into it on either side of the shaft as I inserted it. The result was a box that was noticeably stiffer than one without the air bags. I really don't know if it would been enough to protect the original shipment, but putting something that takes up maybe 10% of the available box space in without any padding at all, whether air bags, rolled up paper or styrofoam or whatever, is to me a serious manufacturing defect.I think this would have been a nice product, and would have preferred an exchange to a return, but wasn't given the option. Of course, without the padding the new item might have encountered the same issue in shipping without packing being included by the manufacturer.I gave two stars because I did try it out during the delay in getting return approval, and it worked about as expected. But if the manufacturer can't bother to pack it well as part of their process, it's at least a possible red flag.
