Just bought a slightly different style pedal drive and installed it on my Colorado pontoon boat. It's awesome! I am also going to build a rudder. Thanks for the inspiration! Great video!
@@danlaetsch8493 good to hear. I took my rudder off it became to much to drag to water. I just use that plastic oar with one hand next to one of the tubes and it steers fine at slow speed. Will see if I put it back on. You should also consider some small fins glue them to bottom of tube just aft of seat for directional stability otherwise it likes to wonder and making minor corrections ALL the time gets old
@Ultralightfishingislife nice. I went back to an oar for steering. Carrying the rudder and setting it up got cover some. I'm also going to glue on two small 2-4" sup board fins to each of the pontoons to help keep it tracking straight. In wind it gets blown like any other inflatable

Removed the rudder. I use just the oar to steer now. Simplified it.
That is beautiful
Brilliant!!!
Well that is clever!!!
@@canadiangemstones7636 thanks. More stable than any pedal kayak. Not as fast but works. Ditched the rudder and just the oar to steer like old ships
Sick
What did you use to make the extension
@@Ultralightfishingislife 1x1x.125 aluminum square tubing
@@Ultralightfishingislife you can use 1x1 c-channel as well but make sure it's .125 thick. I used what ever I had laying around.
@@omieyouknowmethanks my drive finally came in now I just have to get it rigged

@ that’s a good idea with the fins
