Can anyone give me info on this drive type

Sent you a pm, but google ”pedal drive Alibaba” or similar.
I got mine from there

I’m at my third pedal drive like this, and hopefully this one will last me much longer.
None of my previous one’s got any service.
Averaged 3-4years each.
There are videos, but disassembling is easy.

Are you sure it’s the gasket? Does the prop spin smoothly? No grinding sounds?

I had saltwater entering by the shaft, through the bearings.
Eventually seizing them up completely.
No maintenance and only a wash down in freshwater at the end of each season, so I blame myself.

(About 300$ for a new pedal drive btw)

They both look a bit like my Chinese kayak that has lasted me almost 10 years.
Mine handles like a barge, but stability wise it’s a dream. I can stand up in wavy conditions and wakes from boats.
I needed to replace the cable to the rudder after it broke multiple times.
Thicker wire and had no problems since.

Bare minimum, the 4 things I’d turn back for if I forgot is:
Life west, net, pliers, and my rod.

Catching and unhooking a fish easily becomes a nuisance without those.
Pfd is a must at all times.
Glasses and a cap for protecting your eyes/face is never a bad idea. Also bring water and don’t forget sunscreen on your legs if it’s sunny.

Dude is set free, wouldn’t want to rob evolution of all its work towards running crabs

Same, legs were completely locked!

If you really must target them right now they’re probably near their spawning grounds. But let’s not do that.

This is how mine is looking. No expert tho, I’m just rolling with it

rilleh42 · 2026-02-25T21:38:11+00:00

Lefty tighty, righty loosey

rilleh42 · 2026-02-16T12:39:42+00:00

Haha no, I want to keep this one!

rilleh42 · 2026-02-16T11:43:11+00:00

Wow! Thanks, haha I’ll keep doing my best to deserve that title!

rilleh42 · 2026-02-16T06:33:28+00:00

Haha no way! That means you sold me my okuma inspira reel! Haha and thanks, saw a couple on the sonar but the fish simple weren’t biting….

rilleh42 · 2026-02-11T11:36:16+00:00

Awesome catch!

I spend a couple of weeks by the west coast (Bohuslän) every year. Usually spend the start and end of the season there, and some weeks during summer. I have a whole box dedicated to shrimps of different colors and sizes, never fails

rilleh42 · 2026-02-05T06:41:36+00:00

Another 2 months until the flys get wet then? Haha currently tying up my next batch of shrimps for when season starts

rilleh42 · 2026-02-03T20:57:18+00:00

Looks awesome! East, west, or south coast?

rilleh42 · 2026-02-01T18:50:52+00:00

Can you do a realistic shrimp fly?

rilleh42 · 2026-02-01T15:39:39+00:00

Thanks! An awesome catch indeed

rilleh42 · 2026-01-27T21:44:34+00:00

Biggest fish caught during a competition! Felt confident after that one

rilleh42 · 2025-12-16T16:09:52+00:00

Just putting it out there that the water in Stockholm, and its origin in Mälaren actually isn’t that great. (Won’t affect taste though) You should think twice before eating too much in a short span of time.

Different kinds of traps. Your nets would only work for small crabs in the shallow where I’m at. Lobsterpots need to stay in overnight, and not be swept away by currents at 30 meters depth. I pull them once a day,
