Sculling

Sculling is very pleasant. I feel like smoking a pipe when sculling but I don't smoke.

 

(I mean sculling with a single oar working in the falling leaf pattern rather than "sculling" as used by varsity self important types in skinny fast unstable rowing shells !

Battery drill mounted on said clamp, long shaft with a prop on the end. Rechargeable outboard.

Tried that on my kayak works well. Best to use a remote control plane propeller for efficiency

Not sure about the metal bit but the other item looks like a £20 note. This can be exchanged for beer from memory.

What's this item? It has a clamp a bit like an outboard motor and it would have swivelled like a rowlock.

I have to be careful as last time I posted a mystery object I got two warning points for lewdness. I still have those warning points

This:Another photo

Yeah you did get points, though it's a mystery why. As for this object, ain't got a Scooby.

You either use a notch cut out of the transom or can use a rowlock in the centre.

 

 

Thole pins works for me.

In heavy weather on lumpy water you're better off sculling than rowing as you can keep steady pressure rather than catching crabs.

Even more of a mystery why they are still there maybe its cos i'm 'always on about sex'

[Jim Riley]

I think it is something like that.

 

 

The Acme Boat Impeller. I have one in my shed, used to use it on a canadian canoe.

I think I'd rather row a small boat in a rough sea with long oars )sweeps) rather than scull it, you have to stand up or at least kneel down facing backwards to do it.

is it a mount for a medium calibre machine gun, as used on river boats in the last war by the home guard?

You could try an appeal but I reckon you'd be wasting your time, ditto myself with my two .

Could be - it does look a bit big for a long tail outboard mount. But it is very similar to that found by catweasel.

I have performed this exchange and can confirm you are indeed correct

How does perform pushing your shed along?

Great, breaking wash! Just hard to start, have to bump start it.

[magnetman]

Is it for sale ?

[fergyguy]

its a laughing pin minus its giggling nut

[magnetman]

So far I'm going with the gun mount suggestion as I feel a part made for an out board would be of non ferrous materials

You either use a notch cut out of the transom or can use a rowlock in the centre. Single oar sculling relies on a leverage point at the stern either in the centre or to one side to counteract the weight of the person propelling it.
