re: Additional info on Nucanoe Pedal drive

If I am seeing that right it appears that the prop system is controlled by a rubber belt. That is a terrible design for anyone that fishes inshore water. The prop system may "kick up" but what happens when an oyster shell goes between the belt and the shaft. Or if you go over a grass bed and grass gets caught in the belt.
I think the idea of a foot peddle controlling a prop in the back could be cool.. maybe... but the design looks really bad.
